History of World Wildlife Day :

On December 20, 2013, The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) , at its 68th session , decided to proclaim March 3, the day of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) , as World Wildlife Day. World Wildlife Day has since become an extremely important day which aims at reducing the destructive repercussions of human actions on wildlife.

The theme for World Wildlife Day 2022 is ‘Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration’. This theme is chosen as a way to draw attention to the conservation status of some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora . This is to drive the discussion  towards imagining and implementing solutions to conserve wildlife . This year , the day will  drive debates on the imperative need to reserve the fate of the critically endangered species of animals and birds . This will be taken to restore their habits and ecosystems and promote sustainable use by humanity.
