IDB<\/strong>\u00a0to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>When first created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in late 1993, 29 December (the date of entry into force of the Convention of Biological Diversity), was designated IDB.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>In December 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted 22 May as IDB, to commemorate the\u00a0<strong>adoption of the text of<\/strong>\u00a0the Convention on 22 May 1992 by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption of the Agreed Text of the\u00a0<strong>Convention on Biological Diversity.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>This was partly done because it was difficult for many countries to plan and carry out suitable celebrations for the date of 29 December, given the number of holidays that coincide around that time of year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>International Day for Biological Diversity FAQs<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q1:<\/strong>\u00a0On which date is the International
