On March 3rd, we celebrate World Wildlife Day (WWD), a day dedicated to raising awareness about the world’s wild animals and plants, and to celebrate the natural world. But why do we celebrate this day? Let’s delve into the reasons.
In 2013, a group called the United Nations General Assembly decided to create a special day called World Wildlife Day. They picked the date because it was the same day that a very important agreement, called CITES, was signed. This agreement helps protect endangered animals and plants from being traded or sold. So, World Wildlife Day is a day to remember and help our world’s wildlife. This convention plays a crucial role in ensuring that international trade does not threaten the survival of the species.
World Wildlife Day serves as a reminder that wild animals deserve to live in their natural environment. It also highlights that people rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs. For instance, wildlife helps maintain the food chain and ecosystem balance.
