UN World Soil Day

Today is World Soil Day 2020 (#WorldSoilDay) and its campaign Keep soil alive, Protect soil biodiversity aims to raise awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being by addressing the growing challenges in soil management, fighting soil biodiversity loss, increasing soil awareness and encouraging governments, organisations, communities and individuals around the world to commit to proactively improving soil health.

This years’ campaign urges us to focus our attention on the workers belowground from tiny bacteria to agile millipedes and slimy earthworms all of which contribute to processes that are indispensable to life on Earth.
