X-WR-CALDESC:On 20 December 2013\, at its 68th session\, the United Nations
  General Assembly (UNGA) proclaimed 3 March – the day of signature of the 
 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and 
 Flora (CITES) in 1973 – as UN World Wildlife Day to celebrate and raise aw
 areness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The UNGA resolution also d
 esignated the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observan
 ce of this special day for wildlife on the UN calendar. World Wildlife Day
  has now become the most important global annual event dedicated to wildli
 fe.\nAccording to data from the International Union for Conservation of Na
 ture (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species\, over 8\,400 species of wild f
 auna and flora are critically endangered\, while close to 30\,000 more are
  understood to be endangered or vulnerable. Based on these estimates\, it 
 is suggested that over a million species are threatened with extinction.\n
 Continued loss of species\, habitats and ecosystems also threatens all lif
 e on Earth\, including us. People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiver
 sity-based resources to meet all our needs\, from food\, to fuel\, medicin
 es\, housing\, and clothing. Millions of people also rely on nature as the
  source of their livelihoods and economic opportunities.\nWorld Wildlife D
 ay aims to highlight the imperative need to reverse the fate of the most c
 ritically endangered species\, to support the restoration of their habitat
 s and ecosystems and to promote their sustainable use by humanity.
