March 3rd is officially marked as World Wildlife Day! It was on the 68th session, on 20 December 2013, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 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. A special day is assigned in order to celebrate and also to raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The UNGA resolution also 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. So, know more about World Wildlife Day.

World Wildlife Day 2023

How many square kilometers does the Great Barrier Reef cover? According to the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, approximately what percentage of species are already threatened with extinction? How many sharks are killed each year (mostly to make shark fin soup)?  What percent of global populations of birds, fish, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles have declined over the last 40 years?

Answers to the above questions will strengthen the importance of a day for World Wildlife awareness and protection.

The diverse wildlife as attributed to the biosphere in many ways. The food, air, and the energy the biosphere receives in due to the interplay between all the inhabitants. However, unsustainable human activities and overexploitation of the species and natural resources that form the territories and ecosystems of all wildlife are jeopardizing the biodiversity. Nearly a quarter of all species are immediately at risk of progressing towards extinction, and this would only speed up the disappearance of countless organisms, putting humans too in danger.

According to the research conducted by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) if the unsustainable human activity, climate change, and habitat degradation are left unchecked, up to a million species could disappear in the coming decades. So, the importance of the conservation of our present flora and fauna is a very crucial task for this hour.
