The unrestricted exploitation of wildlife has led to the disappearance of many animal species at an alarming rate, destroying Earth's biological diversity and upsetting the ecological balance. The problem is particularly acute in developing countries. Scientists estimate that various animal and plant species may be disappearing at the rate of one every day, with thousands more on the verge of extinction. Widely sought for everything from medical research, medicinal supplies, and display in zoos, to satisfying the demands of high fashion, the illegal trade in wildlife is a lucrative business, making it difficult to control. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is actively involved in working with governments, scientists, private organizations and other concerned groups to preserve and protect our endangered species.

Mohamed Al Hassan (not pictured), Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), attended the opening of the Grand Nuri Mosque and Al-Tahra Church in Mosul, Iraq, in the presence of Mohammed Shia` Al-Sudani, Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, as well as Noura bint Mohammed Al Kaabi, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates. "As we celebrate the rehabilitation of this mosque and its neighbor Al-Tahra Church, we are not celebrating the stones that have been rebuilt, but we are celebrating the revival of the Iraqi spirit. It is the symbol for the return of life, a mark of rejection of extremism, and the restoration of the values of co-existence that have been and remain a beacon of this country. I say this publicly: Mosul has returned and will return, and I call for the lifting of restrictions on Mosul and its people," said Mr. Al Hassan at the ceremony that celebrated the results of UNESCO’s reconstruction work under its Revive the Spirit of Mosul initiative, symbolizing a collective triumph of resilience, coexistence, and global solidarity.
