Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez today reaffirmed the will of the Cuban government to make the necessary efforts to protect national and global biodiversity.

‘On the International Day of Biological Diversity, we reiterate Cuba’s commitment to the protection of nature and biodiversity, reflected in the National Plan on that area,’ he stated in X.

Rodriguez pointed out in the platform itself that ‘a change in the levels of consumption, exploitation and environmental pollution promoted by the world capitalist system is urgently needed’.

This Thursday, humanity celebrates the International Day of Biological Diversity, with the purpose of raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity for life and the need to preserve it for future generations.

With the theme ‘Harmony with nature and sustainable development’, this year the date established by the United Nations Organization is commemorated.
