This event is part of the yODSi project of the University of Valencia, coordinated by its Vice-Principal's Office for Equality, Diversity and Sustainability, UV Sustainability unit, and the faculties.

The day selected for the celebration is 22nd April, the International Mother Earth Day. It reminds us we need to protect biodiversity and take care of both people and the home we all share: the Earth. If we destroy biodiversity, life on our Planet - as we know it - will not be possible.
