International Year for Biodiversity.
Biodiversity is the term used to describe the incredible variety of life that has evolved on our planet over billions of years. So far 1.75m present day species have been recorded, but there maybe as many as 13m in total. Biodiversity is the variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, biome, or on the entire Earth. Biodiversity is often used as a measure of the health of biological systems. Ecosystems are consists of living beings and nonliving elements; the living beings include both plants and animals with microbial life. The living beings make biodiversity. But due to human activities many animals and plant species are on the verge of extinction. The United Nations declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity. It is a celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives. The world is invited to take action in 2010 to safeguard the variety of life on earth: biodiversity. Every year 22nd May is celebrated as International day for biodiversity. So, it is our duty to give the EQUAL RIGHT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET to all living beings. Lets celebrate!

Message from Respected Madam Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Dear Friend,
I am thrilled to be writing to you during this season which is also the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. As you know it is also almost 40 years since the world gathered in Stockholm to discuss the state of what was then known as the Human Environment. So much has happened since and a lot of information has been accumulated. As a result we are no less concerned about the fate of our planet as we were then. Perhaps even more so.
Now we have new challenges, especially the issue of climate change and rapid loss of forests and other biodiversity.
As I write, I am in Europe where virtually the entire airspace was, until earlier this week, shut down due to the forces of mother nature. Such events remind us that we live on a very vulnerable and fragile environment and that we are only but a small part of it.
On this occasion of Earth Day, I send you greetings and best wishes. It is also appropriate for us to call ourselves to action wherever we are and whatever we are engaged in. Each one of us can make small changes in our lives to better the Earth. Together we can make a huge impact!
I am particularly reminded of the campaign to Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. I am working with partners in Japan to promote this concept globally. When expanded to include respect and gratitude, it is known as Mottainai. We all have a lot to be grateful for and we are deeply indebted to your support and encouragement.
At the Green Belt Movement, we continue to raise awareness, plant trees and protect those trees already standing.
We thank our partners in this journey and welcome our new friends to join in supporting our work.
With warmest regards,
Wangari Maathai

GREAT SUCCESS
Earth Hour was a great success in Bhogaon municipality (Mainpuri) and Etawah municipality (Etawah). About 10000 houses switched-off in Bhogaon. Chairman, Bhogaon, Mrs. Uma Dixit and Youth Club NGO Head Dr. Manoj Dixit make this successful at Bhogaon, after taking useful instructions from me. I was inspired after reading the FCO Blog ( www.blogs.fco.gov.uk ) article on earth hour by Ambassador of U.K. in Guatemala Julie Chappel. Thanks madam for inspirational article and thanks to all who cooperated me.
Responsible Day
Today is a very responsible day i.e. EARTH HOUR. We should be environment friendly and our daily life should not pollute surrounding environment. Today every citizen must participate in EARTH HOUR and to switch-off the electricity between 8.30pm-9.30pm; this will be helpful to save planet from air pollution due to Thermal plants as well as make aware people about ecosystem and environment. One such attempt is going to be happen today in BHOGAON municipality of MAINPURI district of U.P.. So, you also participate in EARTH HOUR.

Use least paper, Save trees
Trees are sink of carbon di-oxide, the GHG, and source of oxygen, essential gas for life, on earth. Trees are very important natural gift before us to fight with CLIMATE CHANGE and GLOBAL WARMING. But the current intervention of man with nature is destroying environment. Atleast 17-24 trees have to felled to produce one tonne of papers [ Hindustan Times dt. 13-03-2010 ]. After Copenhagen Summit, we should give attention on development of environment friendly and natural way of life; this is must for the survival of life on earth. There have been few new and environment friendly advanced technologies available but these have their own pros and cons; these are not the complete alternate of trees. So being a responsible human being, do afforestation and protect your environment and biodiversity.

Pseudo attack on Climate Change Truth.
Some climate scientists do not believe in GLOBAL WARMING and CLIMATE CHANGE . But both these problems are TRUTH before us. IPCC chief Mr R.K. Pachauri faced some challenges due to printing mistakes. Mr. Jeffrey D Sachs noted Economist have said that arguments of scientists, who are opposing the climate science, have been repeatedly disproved for 30 years time after time but their aggressive methods of public propaganda succeed in causing delay and confusion and thus the message is clear: large-scale use of oil,coal,and gas is threatening the biology and chemistry of the planet.We are fuelling dangerous changes in Earths climate and ocean chemistry,giving rise to extreme storms,droughts,and other hazards that will damage the food supply and the quality of life on the planet. The IPCC and the climate scientists are telling us a crucial message and truth before us. So, we must THINK GREEN, ACT GREEN and MAKE THE FUTURE BRIGHT & GREEN.

BHAREH: where Yamuna get diluted.
Bhareh is the historical place of Etawah district of India. This place is RICH IN BIODIVERSITY and is the part of CHAMBAL SANCTUARY. In Bhareh, the confluence of two important rivers happens; these are- YAMUNA and CHAMBAL. Yamuna is worshiped as GODDESS by Indians. At Bhareh, the meeting of the above two rivers is very important coz the polluted river YAMUNA gets diluted by the CHAMBAL river. Chambal water is nearly pollution-free and ecologically rich in biodiversity. Thus, Bhareh has GEOGRAPHICAL, ECOLOGICAL and HISTORICAL importance.
