On 20 December 2013, at its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)
proclaimed 3 March – the day of signature of the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973 – as UN World Wildlife Day to
celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The UNGA resolution
also designated the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observance of this
special day for wildlife on the UN calendar. World Wildlife Day has now become the most
important global annual event dedicated to wildlife.
