#IMWD2019 Last year, IMWD2018 was marked in 21 languages, across 12 platforms, in 170+ countries. We dedicate #IMWD2019 to the theme of "SUSTAINABLE HERITAGE" as we urgently embrace the warnings of scientists who tell us "Nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history (IPBES)."
