About The Theme
This year, the theme for the United Nations World Wildlife Day is “Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation”. The alarming rate of wildlife disappearance is underscored by the latest report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), revealing that approximately 44,016 species face the threat of extinction. This accounts for approximately 28% of the 157,190 species listed in the IUCN Red List.
It requires a collective endeavor to explore and unite technologies from diverse sectors, reapplying them to mitigate threats and save wildlife from extinction. Urgent partnerships are essential, bringing together organizations, countries, individuals, and groups to implement transformative technologies and drive impactful change to protect our wildlife.
Our Vision
“We dream of a world where wildlife thrives untouched by human activities, roaming freely in their natural habitats. In this world, every person recognizes the magnificent beauty and value of living wildlife, and takes significant action to ensure safety and protection of wildlife.”
