World Wildlife Conservation Day

World Wildlife Conservation Day is celebrated on December 4 in the world. What do you think is the most dangerous species on the planet? The answer is simple – a person. Animals are destroyed every year due to poaching and human greed. Can’t we stop it? Join the celebration and learn more about it!

History

Hillary Clinton in 2012 took up the issue of wildlife conservation. She called on all those who are part of this movement to raise awareness of the population and raise the current problems of illegal trafficking in animal resources on the black markets. The issue was approached globally and presented a serious strategy directed from the White House.

Prohibitions exist in almost all countries of the world, but this does not prevent people from engaging in criminal activities and poaching. This is facilitated by corruption and criminals who intimidate the police and the rangers of the reserves, who are often attacked by attackers. Man has been living in close contact with nature for a long time, but has never learned how to take care of it… It is in the power of each of us to change the world for the better!

Interesting facts
