Learn about the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) from CITES Secretary-General Ms Ivonne Higuero and discover the stories of the macaws, lemurs, lynxes and other fauna (even Janus the two-headed tortoise!) on a free guided tour of the park by Bioparc Director Dr Tobias Blaha!

Think and test your knowledge of the species in the park through the World Wildlife Day 2025 Contest (to win a free guided feeding of the lemurs)!

Act for wildlife conservation by bringing a stone to help build the Bioparc reptile solarium!

The high-level event for UN World Wildlife Day 2025 will take place on 3 March 2025 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland (10:00AM-12:00PM Central European Time).
Experts from around the world and International Geneva will highlight innovative financial mechanisms for wildlife conservation and share actionable pathways to mobilize the financial resources for investing in the future of our planet. This event will feature a musical performance with medicinal plants, an expert panel discussion on the 2025 theme, statements from Member States, the announcement of the winner of the International Youth Art Contest, and a trailer premiere of the 2025 Jackson Wild Film Showcase!

Interpretation in English, French and Spanish will be available.

An exceptional visit to our herbarium to celebrate World Wildlife Day 2025

Plant conservation is essential to combat climate change, sustain biodiversity, maintain ecosystems and preserve natural resources for future generations. Since 1750, around 600 plants have disappeared forever due to the destruction of their natural environment. Some of them lie in our herbarium, silent witnesses to a tragic story that places humanity at the heart of the sixth mass extinction.

Come and discover them on the occasion of World Wildlife Day 2025:

1:30 pm - 2:15 pm: Visit in French
2:30 pm - 3:15 pm: Visit in English
3:30pm - 4:15pm: Visit in Spanish

The Geneva World Wildlife Day 2024 Celebration will highlight the role of Geneva in bridging conservation and digital technology, and advancing digital innovation in the field of conservation and trade.

Join us in the Bioparc to learn about the local and global biodiversity through mini free themed guided tours! Book on the spot on the day, one visit every 2 hours (the guided tour last about 20min).
