- MUMBAI — Actress Dia Mirza's love for wildlife is no secret. Commemorating
World Biodiversity Day on Thursday, the former beauty queen penned a special
post on her social media feed.

- Dia dropped on her Instagram a couple of short videos of
various members of the biodiversity such as lions, tigers, elephants, deer,
monkeys, butterflies, and other beautiful birds.

- "Celebrating the beauty and diversity of life on our
planet...Today, on World Biodiversity Day, let’s remember that every plant,
animal, and ecosystem is a vital thread in the tapestry of life. Together, we
must protect and nurture the rich biodiversity that sustains us all," she
wrote on the photo-sharing app.

- Observed on May 22, the International Day for Biological
Diversity is a United Nations–sanctioned international day for the promotion of

awareness regarding the significant role that bees play in sustaining life on
Earth.

- Stating that 75% of crops depend on pollination, the
‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’ actress wrote, “A world without bees is a silent
one” Did you know that 1 in 4 wild bee species are threatened with extinction?
This World Bee Day, I’m shining a light on a tiny hero—the Red Dwarf Bee of
North West India. Small in size, but enormous in impact, this beautiful little
pollinator plays a vital role in keeping our ecosystems alive and thriving.
Sadly, its numbers are declining fast. Over 75% of crops depend on pollination,
yet habitat loss, pesticide use, and rising temperatures are silencing nature’s
most powerful workers. But hope is not lost. Each of us can help. Let’s
#BringTheBuzzBack—one plant, one patch, one choice at a time.”

- “Plant native flowers on your balcony, terrace or garden.
Say no to pesticides. Support local beekeepers and organic farmers. Even a
single square meter of bee-friendly plants can make a difference. Let’s create
spaces where bees can thrive. Let’s build a world where their song never fades.
