World Wildlife Day falls today, 3rd March.
On 20th December 2013, at its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 3rd March, the day of signature of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as UN World Wildlife Day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants.
World Wildlife Day will be celebrated this year under the theme “Big cats: predators under threat”. The Big cats are among the most widely recognized and admired animals across the globe.
However, today these charismatic predators are facing many and varied threats, which are mostly caused by human activities.
