Take a walk on your own along the ‘Diversity Trail’. A map, which describes the area's biological diversity, shows the way. The text is in Swedish. Inside the Edvard Anderson Conservatory the children can look for plants with the help of our ‘Plant bingo’.

When? The International Day for Biological Diversity is celebrated every year on 22 May. However, the ‘Diversity Trail’ and ‘Plant bingo’ will be available in a couple of weeks: from May 18 to June 5.

Venue: Bergius Botanic Garden

Admission is free to all the activities. Entrance fee to the conservatories.

Why an International Day for Biological Diversity? While there is a growing recognition that biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to present and future generations, the number of species is being significantly reduced by certain human activities.

The Convention on Biological Diversity is the international legal instrument for "the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources" that has been ratified by 196 nations.
