World Wildlife Day is celebrated on March 3rd every year to raise awareness about the importance of conserving wildlife and their habitats.
The day was first declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 to mark the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973.
World Wildlife Day also aims to raise awareness about the illegal trade in wildlife and the urgent need to combat wildlife crime. Wildlife crime is a global problem that threatens many species with extinction and undermines efforts to conserve biodiversity.
World Wildlife Day is celebrated to promote awareness and action toward the conservation of wildlife and their habitats, combat wildlife crime, and celebrate the beauty and diversity of the world's wildlife.
