SUMMARY:World Wildlife Day
DESCRIPTION:Online Event accessed through CITES YouTube Channel\n\nThe incalculable value of wildlife\nBillions of people\, in developed and developing nations\, benefit daily from the use of wild species for food\, energy\, materials\, medicine\, recreation\, inspiration and many other vital contributions to human well-being. \nThe accelerating global biodiversity crisis\, with a million species of plants and animals facing extinction\, threatens these contributions to people. \nWorld Wildlife Day (WWD) is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people. At the same time\, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime and human-induced reduction of species\, which have wide-ranging economic\, environmental and social impacts. Given these various negative effects\, Sustainable Development Goal 15 focuses on halting biodiversity loss. \n\nFifty years promoting partnerships in favor of wildlife conservation\nWorld Wildlife Day will be celebrated in 2023 under the theme “Partnerships for wildlife conservation“\, honoring the people who are making a difference. \nPartnerships operate on a large scale or involve a few children or a school. For some\, it could be organizing a school sale to benefit a conservation group\, for others it could be posting photographs online to raise awareness of endangered species. All of them are equally valid. \nThis upcoming year\, the UN celebrates a special partnership: the 50th anniversary of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). \nThis Convention is an international agreement between governments to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of the species. Today\, it grants varying degrees of protection to more than 37\,000 species of animals and plants. \nThrough the past 50 years\, partnerships have been at the heart of CITES\, and WWD will celebrate the bridge that CITES has been for these partnerships to form\, making a significant contribution to sustainability\, wildlife and biodiversity conservation. \nIn accordance with this convention\, UN agencies\, private sector organizations\, philanthropies and non-governmental organizations must keep working for conservation\, the sustainable use of wildlife and in the fight against illegal trade and the depletion of wildlife. \nSustaining existing partnerships and building new ones is critical for the future of life on earth. \nWe need to change our relationship with nature and we need to work together. \n\n\nDid you know?\n\n\n\n50\,000 Wild Species Meet Needs of Billions Worldwide.\n1 in 5 people around the world rely on wild species for income and food\, while 2.4 billion people depend on wood fuel for cooking.\nIt seems surprising\, but cacti\, seaweeds\, giraffes\, parrots\, and oak trees are groups of species endangered. Currently there are one million species under threat.\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News. He brings 25 years of experience in corporate strategy\, media\, fintech\, and communications\, including 15 years specializing in news and journalism. Matt was recognized by the United Nations as #3 of the “Top 10 Most Influential Media Executives for Impact” in 2015 during the launch of the UN SDGs.\nHe has advised the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative (SSEI)\, UNCTAD\, and the UN\, and hosts event coverage at the World Economic Forum\, ADFW\, Climate Week NYC\, EU Parliament\, COP\, the Vatican\, NASDAQ\, NYSE\, and more. Matt is a founding board member of the Humanity 2.0 Foundation\, a Vatican-based NGO focused on identifying and removing impediments to human flourishing.\nHe previously rang the NASDAQ Closing Bell in honor of his partnership with NASDAQ OMX to launch the world’s first retail investor targeting and newswire monitoring platform with the NASDAQ Financial Services Group. Matt launched ESG News in 2021\, leading coverage of more than 10\,000 news stories as of 2026—and truly loves what he does. \nesgnews.com
