Wildlife Day
World Wildlife Day will be celebrated in 2021 under the theme "𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙨: 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙩,"as the way to highlight central role of forests, forest species and ecosystems services in sustaining the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people globally, and particularly of Indigenous and local communities with historic ties to forested and forest-adjacent areas. This aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 1, 12, 13 and 15, and their wide-ranging commitments to alleviating poverty, ensuring sustainable use of resources, and on conserving life land.
Between 200 and 350 million people live within or adjacent to forested areas around the world, relying on the various ecosystem services provided by forest and forest species for their livelihoods and to cover their most basic needs, including food, shelter, energy and medicines.
Indigenous peoples and local communities are at the forefront of the symbiotic relationship between humans and forest, forest-dwelling wildlife species and the ecosystem services the provide. Roughly 28% of the world’s land surface is currently managed by indigenous peoples, including some of the most ecologically intact forests on the planet. These spaces are not only central to their economic and personal well-being, but also to their cultural identities.
Forests, forests species and the livelihoods that depend on them currently find themselves at the crossroads of the multiple planetary crises we currently face, from climate change, to biodiversity loss and the health, social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 3 2021, World Wildlife Day will celebrate forest-based livelihoods and seek to promote forest and forest wildlife management models and practices that accommodate both human well-being and the long-term conservation of forests, forest-dwelling s
World Pangolin Day 2021
"𝑳𝒆𝒕'𝒔 𝒋𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔"
World Pangolin Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in February, and this year, the special day falls on February 20, 2021!
World Pangolin Day day is an opportunity for pangolin enthusiasts to join together in raising awareness about these unique mammals — and their plight. Pangolins are unfortunately one of the most heavily trafficked mammals in the illegal wildlife trade.
Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate in World Pangolin Day! The aim of World Pangolin Day is to draw as much attention to pangolins as possible, since they are still relatively unknown outside of Africa and Asia.
-Their large and elongated claws enable them to burrow underground for shelter and to excavate ant and termite nests for food.
-In doing so, the soil is mixed and aerated—much like what happens when we rototill gardens or plow crop fields.
-This improves the nutrient quality of the soil and aids the decomposition cycle, providing a healthy substrate for lush vegetation to grow from.
-When abandoned, their underground burrows also provide habitat for other animals.
-Forget the exterminator, call in the pangolin!
It is said that a single pangolin consumes as much as 70 million.
As you can imagine, pangolins certainly help to control their insect prey’s numbers, contributing to the delicate balance of the ecosystems they inhabit.

World Wetlands Day 2021
"𝐖𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞"
Every year, on the 2nd of February, we celebrate World Wetlands Day (WWD) to raise global awareness about the high importance of wetlands for people and our planet. WWD is also an occasion to commemorate the signing of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971.
"𝐖𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫" theme for WWD 2021, shines a spotlight on wetlands as a source of freshwater and encourages actions to restore them and stop their loss.
We are facing a growing freshwater crisis that threatens people and our planet. We use more freshwater than nature can replenish, and we are destroying the ecosystem that water and all life depend on most – Wetlands.
The 2021 campaign highlights the contribution of wetlands to the quantity and quality of freshwater on our planet. Water and wetlands are connected in an inseparable co-existence that is vital to life, our wellbeing and the health of our planet.
What wetlands do?
Fresh and saltwater wetlands sustain humanity and nature. They support our social and economic development through multiple services:
1- Store and clean water
Wetlandsholdandprovide most of our freshwater.
They naturally filter pollutants, leaving water we can safely drink.
2- Keep us fed
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector, while inland fisheries alone provided 12 million tonnes of fish in 2018.
Rice paddies feed 3.5 billion people annually.
3- Underpin our global economy
Wetlands, the most valuable ecosystem, provide services worth US $47 trillion a year.More than one billion people rely on wetlands for income.
4- Provide nature a home
40% of the world’s species live and breed in wetlands. Annually, about 200 new fish species discovered in freshwater wetlands.
