Every year, the world celebrates International Biodiversity Day on May 22, if only to increase awareness on this amazing planet’s wonderful ecosystems and and more importantly, our big role as steward of the world’s biodiversity. Today’s celebration is actually just a huge milestone in an exciting year for the flora and fauna population of planet Earth – the United Nations declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity.

More information on International Year of Biodiversity is available here. We fully support these causes because discovering the world’s diverse resources make travelling much more exciting, don’t you think? Cue in ‘The World is Just Awesome’ music from Discovery Channel…
I love the mountains
I love the clear blue skies
I love big bridges
I love when great whites fly
I love the whole world
And all its sights and sounds
Boom de yada, boom de yada
Boom de yada, boom de yada
I love the oceans
I love real dirty things
I love to go fast
I love Egyptian kings
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
Boom de yada, boom de yada
Boom de yada, boom de yada
I love tornadoes
I love arachnids
I love hot magma
I love the giant squids
I love the whole world
It’s such a brilliant place…
Boom de yada, boom de yada
Boom de yada, boom de yada
I’ll cap off this entry with a link to our last entry on bird-watching, a meaningful guided tour that truly celebrates the biodiversity of birds in the Philippines! Boom de yada, boom de yada, boom de yada….
