The World Wildlife Day is observed every year on March 3 to raise awareness about the world’s wild fauna and flora.
Theme 2022: “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration”.
The day was proposed by Thailand and recognised in 2013 by United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
March 3 has been chosen as it is the day of signature of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973.
