The focus of UN World Wildlife Day 2021, to be celebrated on 3rd March, is "Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet", aiming to highlight the 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.” Our new World Wildlife Day gallery focuses on the rich biodiversity of forest ecoystems and their vital role in sustaining people and the planet.
