World Environment Day is the United Nations’ most important day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment. Connecting People to Nature’, the theme for World Environment Day 2017, encourages us to get outdoors and into nature, to appreciate its beauty, its, and to take forward the call to protect the Earth that we share. Join us to celebrate Nature. How?
