- 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 biodiversity issues.
-
- On Tuesday, Dia Mirza also made an effort to spread 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. Join the movement at beewild.org and follow @beewild.campaign to take action. Bees are not just pollinators, they are poets of the planet. Let’s listen, protect, and act #ForNature #ForPeopleForPlanet #WorldBeeDay #BeeTheChange #BeatPollution #SDGs #GlobalGoals," Dia concluded.
