Since 1974, the world has celebrated World Environment Day every year on 5 June, engaging and encouraging governments, businesses, and citizens of the world to focus their efforts on a pressing environmental issue. This year, the focus shifts to biodiversity, and in the midst of this global pandemic, let us take time to pause and reflect on our natural biodiversity, especially in our own Pacific backyard. Our Pacific biodiversity is amongst the richest and most unique in the world. It is home to many species, a great many of these are only found exclusively in our region.
