March 3 is World Wildlife Day
March 3 is World Wildlife Day, with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of wildlife and biodiversity, as well as highlighting the need for their protection. The date was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 2013, with the intention of celebrating the diverse forms of life that inhabit our planet, including animals, plants and ecosystems essential to the health of the environment and the balance of nature.
This day serves as a reminder of the global responsibility to conserve biodiversity and combat threats such as deforestation, illegal animal trade and habitat loss. The date is an opportunity to reflect on the measures needed to preserve endangered species and promote conservation actions around the world.
World Wildlife Day is also an opportunity to recognize the work of organizations and individuals dedicated to protecting species, such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which carries out global conservation and research initiatives.
