World Nature Conservation Day is observed each year on July 28th. This day is celebrated Internationally to increase awareness about the best practices to protect our natural resources. The Earth is supplied a limited amount of properties that we all rely upon each day like water, air, soil and trees.

This day recognizes that a healthy environment is the foundation for a stable and productive society and to ensure the well being of present and future generations, we all must participate to protect, conserve and sustainably manage our natural resources.
