World Wildlife Day: Why we need to Celebrate?


Today, march 3, is World Wildlife Day, a day set aside to raise awareness of the need to safeguard wild animals and plants. Every year on march 3, people around the world observe World Wildlife Day (WWD) to recognise the presence of a variety of wildlife and raise public awareness of the need to protect wild animals and plants on a global scale.

Every year, people are reminded to take instant precautions to protect wildlife from crimes and the extinction of species brought on by humans by celebrating World Wildlife Day.

Since a few years ago, wildlife exploitation has escalated into a significant problem that, if left unchecked, will have a variety of negative effects on the economy, the environment, and society. The goal of World Wildlife Day is to stop the decline of biodiversity.

World Wildlife Day: Importance

The day is set aside to honour and spread awareness of the varied wild flora and fauna found throughout the globe. This day offers a chance to emphasise the value of animals and their habitats. Additionally, it is an occasion to emphasise the importance of their preservation and protection on a worldwide scale. The United Nations carefully chooses a topic each year to call attention to particular issues affecting wildlife populations and ecosystems.

The day is significant because it falls on the anniversary of the adoption of CITES, a global agreement designed to protect endangered species from being threatened by commerce. The preservation of biodiversity is essential for the survival of all species, including people, as is brought home by World Wildlife Day.
