World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the beautiful planet we share with the plants and animals. This day is a chance to celebrate the partnerships that are working to re-establish the natural balance between species while acknowledging the challenges we still face to stop the irreversible change.

For this year, the theme is set as 'Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration'. The reason behind picking up this theme is to shed light on saving some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora.
