Dear learners
March 3rd marks World Wildlife Day, a day organized by the United Nations and its partners to raise awareness of the critically endangered species of our planet, and the importance of protecting our wildlife and the ecosystems in which they live. It is an important day which is becoming increasingly relevant against today’s background of climate change, so here is some more information on how it started, why we should celebrate it and what makes it so important. Why is World Wildlife Day important? Protecting all the Earth’s animals is important, but especially those that are particularly in danger, such as those on the critically endangered species list. An animal is only placed on this list if the International Union for Conservation of
Nature believes the animal faces a very high risk for extinction. Even so, there are currently a significant number of animals on this list. For example, current estimates put the number of living Black Rhinos at around 2,500 in the entire world, whilst Russia’s Amur Leopard, found in the far eastern recesses of the country has only about 40 lefts in the world. Unfortunately, this list continues on and on. Forests, the wildlife within them and the people who depend on them, currently find themselves at the crossroads of several planetary crises, from climate change to biodiversity loss and the health, social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, this year on World Wildlife Day, it is more important than ever that we remember the reasons we celebrate it.
“The loss of nature and biodiversity comes with a steep human cost”.
Without Nature, we have Nothing
