March 3rd: The day in 1931 that the United States adopted "Star Spangled Banner" as it's national anthem.Additionally, March 3 is also the annual date of World Wildlife Day, voted on December 20, 2013 by the United Nations to be an annual environmental date of honor and celebration of wildlife.. This date is significant as it ties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) that was signed in 1973.
The 2024 theme is “Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation.” The focus is on tying together innovation, technology, biodiversity, and wildlife conservation.
High-level United Nations events taking place at their headquarters in New York City will be live-streamed here on Monday, March 4th.
For some things to do either this weekend or the week ahead (why limit it to just a day or two?) to celebrate World Wildlife Day, click here to check out these 8 items from GoodGoodGood's post from last year.
