Today is #WorldHealthDay

We already know that our #health depends on #biodiversity for food🌾, air🌳, water💧 etc.

🦠The @IPBES #PandemicsReport also showed that #pandemic risk is driven by biodiversity loss

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

📣 #WorldHealthDay on 7 April reminds us that #biodiversity underpins many of the factors that affect human health, including:

🍎 Nutrition
🍂 Mental health
☀️ #ClimateChange
🦠 Disease spread
🦋 Ecosystem health
🌎 And many more!
