#WWD2016: The future of ______ is #InOurHands.

Thank you for your contribution. The UN World Wildlife Day is the international celebration of the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora, as well as an occasion to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people. #WWD2016 is celebrated on 3rd March, the day of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973. The theme of this year’s celebration is “The future of wildlife is in our hands”, with a global focus on the conservation of African and Asian elephants through the sub-theme of “The future of elephants is in our hands”. World Wildlife Day will be celebrated around the world with the main global event at the UN Headquarters in New York.
