Kya Hai Yeh Din?
Har saal, 3 March ko World Wildlife Day manaaya jaata hai to spread awareness about flora (plants) aur fauna (animals) ki importance. Wildlife nature ka balance banaye rakhti hai – clean air, food, aur healthy environment provide karti hai. Is din ka goal hai logon ko samjhana: wildlife conservation ko support karo, sustainable practices (like recycling, less plastic) follow karo, aur nature ke saath peacefully coexist karo. Schools, communities, aur organizations milkar awareness campaigns, tree plantations, aur workshops organize karte hain. Protecting wildlife = securing a better future for our planet!
2025 Theme: “Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People & Planet”
Theme ka focus hai funding ke naye ideas dhoondhna – jaise green bonds (environment-friendly investments), eco-tourism (nature trips), ya CSR funds – taki wildlife projects ko paisa mile aur local communities bhi benefit karein. Example: India’s Project Tiger (1973) ne tiger population 3,000+ kar diya! 2025 ka message: Paisa lagana sirf animals ke liye nahi, balki logon ki livelihood (rozi-roti) aur planet ke liye bhi zaroori hai.
History: Kisne Shuru Kiya?
United Nations (UN) ne 2013 mein Thailand ke suggestion par is din ko officially announce kiya. 3 March ko hi 1973 mein CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) sign hua tha. CITES ek global agreement hai jo illegal wildlife trade (jaise tiger skins, ivory) ko rokta hai. India bhi CITES ka member hai aur tigers, elephants, rhinos ko save karne mein global leader hai.
Why Is It Important?
UN ke data ke hisaab se, 1 million+ species extinction ke edge par hain due to pollution, climate change, aur illegal trade. India mein, 70% tigers aur 50% Asian elephants duniya ke hissaab se yahan rehte hain! World Wildlife Day humein yaad dilata hai ki habitat destruction (jungle katna), poaching (illegal shikar), aur plastic waste wildlife ko khatam kar rahe hain.
PM Modi Ne Kya Kaha?
“Ye din humein apne planet ki biodiversity ko celebrate karne aur use protect karne ki commitment dikhane ka mauka hai. Bharat mein wildlife conservation hamari sanskriti (culture) aur parampara (tradition) ka hissa raha hai. ‘Project Lion’ aur ‘Green India Mission’ jaisi schemes isi commitment ko dikhati hain. Start-ups aur NGOs ko support karke, hum eco-friendly tech (like AI for anti-poaching) bhi develop kar rahe hain. Hamara mantra hai: ‘Vikas aur Prakriti’ (Development & Nature) ko saath leke chalna!”

Fun Fact + Reality Check:
India has 18% of the world’s population but only 2.4% of its land area – aur ismein 8% of global wildlife rehta hai! Coexistence aur balance zaroori hai. 2025 ke theme ke saath, hum apni rich biodiversity ko economically bhi strong bana sakte hain. 🌿✨
FAQs (Youth-Friendly Charcha)
– Why do we celebrate World Wildlife Day?

– What does the 2025 theme “Wildlife Conservation Finance” mean?
It’s about funding conservation in smart ways—like eco-tourism (nature trips) or green bonds (eco-friendly investments)—so both wildlife and local communities benefit. Example: India’s Project Tiger boosted tiger numbers to 3,000+!

Illegal hunting/killing of animals for profit (like tiger skins or rhino horns). It’s a major reason why species go extinct.
