WWD is celebrated every year on March 3 and marks the day the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was signed in 1973. This year is the 50th anniversary.
In recognition of the work CITES does and the collaborative work for conservation that is going on globally, the theme for WWD this year is “Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation.”
The celebration aims to honor and recognize the people who are making a difference. Through the past 50 years, partnerships have been at the heart of CITES, and WWD will celebrate the bridge that CITES has been for these partnerships to form, making a significant contribution to sustainability, wildlife, and biodiversity conservation.
