Help save planet Earth
World Earth Day 2019 was marked, on 22 April 2019, by the launching of a series of activities during a ceremony held at the Black River Gorges National Park. A poster on illegal dumping was also launched and medicinal plants were distributed to showcase the Mauritian Government’s commitment to preserve the nature. World Earth Day 2019, ‘Protection of our Species’, aims at raising awareness on the threat that the world is facing, that is, the greatest rate of extinction ever, as human beings have irrevocably upset the balance of nature. It is therefore crucial for everyone to ponder on their actions and human behaviour and activities that are provoking complex environmental challenges and an unprecedented global destruction.
