This World Wildlife Day, we highlight the urgent and pervasive challenge of wildlife crime. Illegal wildlife trade is a multi-billion-dollar industry, driven by demand for exotic pets, traditional medicine, luxury goods, and trophies. Weak legal frameworks, corruption, and inadequate enforcement allow traffickers to operate with impunity, while limited resources hinder conservation efforts in the fight against poaching and trafficking.

The transnational nature of wildlife crime complicates enforcement, with online platforms further enabling anonymous illegal trade. Meanwhile, habitat destruction from deforestation and climate change, along with human-wildlife conflict, pushes communities toward poaching, accelerating species decline. Despite these many challenges, we are successfully combatting many illegal wildlife trade efforts.

To explore this critical issue, we are joined by two distinguished experts: John E. Scanlon, an international environmental leader with a distinguished career in law, policy, and conservation, and Prof. Phill Cassey, head of the Wildlife Crime Research Hub at the University of Adelaide. Together, they will help unravel the complexities of this global crisis.

On 20 December 2013 at the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), March 3 was declared United Nations World Wildlife Day (WWD). This day holds significance as the day that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was signed in 1973.
People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs - from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. For us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature brings us and our planet, people have been working together to make sure ecosystems are able to thrive and plant and animal species are able to exist for future generations.
In 2025, World Wildlife Day is be celebrated under the critical theme of "Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet."
On 3 March 2025 FAO Liaison Office with the Russian Federation together with UNEP and the National Committee of the UN Decade for Ecosystems Restoration in Russia organizes a press conference at TASS News Agency and a conference at the UN House in Moscow.

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

This year’s theme is Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet. Our planet’s amazing biodiversity is priceless, but protecting it comes at a cost. Hundreds of billions of dollars are needed each year to close the global wildlife finance gap – a gap that we must bridge to ensure the survival of species and the ecosystems that sustain us all. Wildlife finance is more than a tool – it’s a commitment. A commitment to the planet, wildlife and plants, and a shared future where nature and humanity thrive together.
We are preparing to celebrate this again this year: we are waiting for everyone with feeding demonstrations, crafts and educational programs on March 1st, at our Wildlife Day event!

About the programs in advance:
Ask the conservationists!
In addition to the exciting discoveries at the stations of the invited conservation organizations and the Zoo, you can also ask the experts your questions.

Zookeepers' programs combined with feeding shows: Meet the ambassadors of endangered species and their zookepers at short lectures held at the animal enclosures!

More about the Zoo's mission of nature conservation and wildlife rescue!
With the help of our zooeducators, you can learn more about the Zoo's mission of nature conservation and wildlife rescue. Due to the unpredictable weather, the event stations are primarily planned for indoor spaces.

Detailed program coming soon!
