This Wednesday is proclaimed as International Day for Biological Diversity by the United Nations. This year's 2013 theme is Water and Biodiversity.

"Water is essential for life. No living being on planet Earth can survive without it. It is a prerequisite for human health and well-being as well as for the preservation of the environment."
