World Wildlife Day being observed today
Theme for the day this year is “Partnerships for wildlife conservation”.
World Wildlife Day is being observed on Friday (March 3) across the globe to promote the need for protection and conservation of wild fauna and flora.
Theme for the day this year is "Partnerships for wildlife conservation", honoring the people who are making a difference.
The day focuses on the conservation of some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on 20 December 2013—at its 68th session— proclaimed 3 March which is the day of signature of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973 as UN World Wildlife Day.
Now, it is the most important annual event across the world dedicated to wildlife.
The day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people.
According to the UN, the UNGA resolution designated the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observance of this special day for wildlife on the UN calendar.
World Wildlife Day has now become the most important global annual event dedicated to wildlife.
