This year, the theme of World Wildlife Day is “The Future of Wildlife is in Our Hands” with a focus on elephants.
“The theme was chosen to reinforce the link between wildlife, human activity and sustainable development, celebrating the millions of unique species that we share our home with but at the same time raising awareness about the dire situation so many of our species find themselves in.”
Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey
