WED Day Go Wild for Life
The United Nations decided: zero tolerance for illegal wildlife trade! Killing animals to sell its parts is a crime! Go Wild for Life is the theme of World Environment Day in 2016.
In 2015, the United Nations adopted a historic resolution Tackling the Illicit Trafficking in Wildlife which requires all countries to make efforts to end the illegal trade of wild animals.
This is the first time that all UN member countries agreed to cooperate at national and international levels with measures to combat illegal hunting, trafficking and purchase of wild animals. The problem is so serious that became the theme of the WED Day June 5.
Each year more animals are being killed and we are losing biodiversity. Every living thing has its role in the balance of ecosystems on Earth and we need to preserve this wealth. Let’s fight for Wildlife!
