Biodiversity means life – in every second and in any location on the planet. Plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms purify the water and the air, while also providing food and medicine. They make the soil fertile and maintain the climate’s equilibrium. In short, they make our lives possible. The preservation of biological diversity is one of the greatest challenges of our time.
生物多样性意味着生命--在地球上的每一秒钟和任何地点。植物、动物、真菌和微生物可以净化水和空气，同时也提供食物和药物。它们使土壤肥沃，并维持气候的平衡。简而言之，它们使我们的生活成为可能。保护生物多样性是我们这个时代的最大挑战之一。
That’s why Volkswagen attaches a very special motto to May 22, 2021, which the United Nations declared the international day of biodiversity: “Living in Harmony with Nature”. All employees are encouraged to describe their past or intended future contribution to biodiversity on the group’s environmental website.
这就是为什么大众汽车为2021年5月22日联合国宣布的国际生物多样性日附加了一个非常特别的座右铭。"与自然和谐共处"。我们鼓励所有员工在集团的环保网站上描述他们过去或未来打算对生物多样性做出的贡献。
