Everybody is celebrating the World Wildlife Day.
The
incalculable value of wildlife
Billions of people, in developed and developing nations, benefit daily
from the use of wild species for food, energy, materials, medicine, recreation,
inspiration and many other vital contributions to human well-being.
The accelerating global biodiversity crisis, with a million species of
plants and animals facing extinction, threatens these contributions to people.
World Wildlife Day (WWD) is an opportunity to celebrate the many
beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of
the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people. At the
same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against
wildlife crime and human-induced reduction of species, which have wide-ranging
economic, environmental and social impacts. Given these various negative
effects, Sustainable Development Goal 15 focuses on halting biodiversity loss.
