Geneva, 24 November 2015: The countdown to next year's World Wildlife Day (WWD) kicks off today, 100 day before 3 March 2016. This special day in the UN calendar, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 2013, will be celebrated in 2016 under the theme "The future of wildlife is in our hands". African and Asian elephants will be a main focus of the Day under the theme "The future of elephants is in our hands". Countries around the world are encouraged to highlight species from their own countries, both wild animals and plants, adapting the global theme to suit.
The theme "The future of wildlife is in our hands" reinforces the inextricable link between wildlife, people and sustainable development. It is the responsibility of each generation to safeguard wildlife for the following generation. It also imparts the pressing need for national action to ensure the survival in the wild of both charismatic and lesser known species.
