Shining a light on the vital role of Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Species.

 

On 20 December 2013 at its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 3 March as United Nations World Wildlife Day. The date marks the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973. Since then, World Wildlife Day has grown into the leading annual international event dedicated to raising awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants.
