The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 22 May as the International Day for Biological Diversity on 8 February 2001 to increase understanding and awareness on biodiversity issues. This date commemorates the adoption of the text of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) on 22 May 1992.

The Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) celebrated the 2024 International Day for Biodiversity (IDB) from May 22 to June 10 by sharing impactful video messages from its members and partners across Asia. This year's theme, “Be Part of the Plan,” called for collective action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF).

In commemoration of the International Day for Biodiversity, the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP) featured powerful videos that showcased the perspectives of Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous Women, and Indigenous Youth. This annual event, held to raise awareness about the importance of biodiversity and the rights of Indigenous Peoples, aimed to underscore the significance of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework—a historical achievement in the Environmental Conventions. With the theme “From Agreement to Action: Build Back Biodiversity,” this year's celebration served as a reminder of the urgent need to translate international commitments into concrete action at national and local levels.
