World Wildlife Day – Celebrated every year to highlight wild animals and plants, World Wildlife Day (WWD) recognizes the unique roles and contributions of wildlife to people and the planet. People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs – from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing.
For us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature brings us and our planet, people have been working together to make sure ecosystems are able to thrive and plant and animal species are able to exist for future generations.
