Conserving the Pharmacy of Nature: World Wildlife Day 2026 🌍

March 3rd, 2026; 15:OO CEST via Zoom, free online registration.

Medicinal and aromatic plants are more than just flora; they are the foundation of global health, cultural heritage, and the livelihoods of millions.
At the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Products Chemistry (https://ga-online.org/), we are committed to advancing research, education, and collaboration that strengthen sustainable practices across the full spectrum of medicinal plant and natural product science. We urge the global research community to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and habitat preservation. Our work in natural products research is only possible if we ensure that wildlife includes all species that keep the world healthy.
Join the conversation with the GA community and regional representatives across the globe.

“OneHealthMedPlants: Sustainable Use of Medicinal Plants for One Health” is a scientific event dedicated to highlighting the role of medicinal plants within the One Health framework, integrating human, animal, and environmental health. The event will feature oral presentations and poster sessions presenting ongoing research in the fields of medicinal plants, phytochemistry, bioactivity, and sustainability.

Online event in collaboration between SPREP and IUCN Medicinal Plants Specialist Group

The Beica Charter is a declaration of principles for the integrated study and research of medicinal plants. Beica Mădulari RO NGO has developed the world's only integrated system applied to medicinal plants: a complete circuit from wild seed collection to the final natural bio-enzymatic product.
Our system is built exclusively around medicinal plants as complete living biological systems, based on the principle of developing, conserving, and delivering the entire holobiont. Our mission is to protect virgin species (including 12 endemic and 2 allogenic species) while educating communities and offering them development opportunities.
Implemented and Functional Milestones:
In just one year of activity, through active partnerships with the Vâlcea Agricultural Directorate, the Faculty of Pharmacy (UMF Craiova), and the Bucharest Metropolitan Library, we have established:
Infrastructure: 2,000 sqm of protected greenhouses and 1,000 sqm of open-field comparative plots.
Research: Applied study of 14 medicinal plant species (Carpathian wild ecotypes collected from pristine areas like Polovragi and 2 acclimated allogenic species).
Operational Chain: Wild seed collection → Controlled cultivation → Systematic study → Reversible conservation of holobionts at ambient temperature via the original "Sarcophagus Method" → 100% natural enzymatic bioconversion.
Impact: In 2025, over 180 students participated in our non-curricular educational activities.
What Makes Us Unique:
No other NGO in the world operates this complete circuit for medicinal plants. We treat the plant at every stage as a holobiont: intact microbiome, active native enzymes, and preserved biological matrix. This is not just a laboratory, a seed bank, or a processing unit—it is all of them integrated into a single applied concept.
March 3rd, 2026 — World Wildlife Day Program:
Live Demo of the Sarcophagus Method: Rehydrating plants preserved 6 months ago in standard bottled water, showing the holobionts returning to functional parameters.
The HOLOBIONT Concept: Presentations by 40 students from 3 partner schools on integrated medicinal plant systems.
Open Research Base: Presentation of our facilities to university and school faculty—offering free, open access for students as a living research platform.
The Beica Charter: Official signing of the Declaration of the Seven Principles.
The Lifecycle: Wild Seeds → Cultivation → Study → Conservation → Bio-enzymation → Education → Applied AI.
Outreach: Free distribution of official ONGWWD2026 promotional materials.
At BEICA, "Life is not a noun; here, it becomes a VERB."

To celebrate the World Wildlife Day, we are creating a wild herb garden on our grounds for local schools. On March 3rd, we will present these species and their uses via the social network "Nebenann.de".

Wildlife Jewels® is hosting a free World Wildlife Day celebration featuring wildlife-inspired art, hands-on learning, and native planting for pollinators.

NatureUganda, in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities, World Wildlife Fund, Uganda Wildlife Training Institute, and the Uganda Biodiversity Fund, has organised the National Wildlife Conservation Conference 2026, one of the events to commemorate World Wildlife Day 2026.

Keynote Focus: “The critical role of plants in human health, traditional medicine, and ecosystems, while strengthening their sustainable use and conservation.”

This conference will explore the interconnected role of plants in human health, traditional medicine, and ecosystem stability, while advancing strategies for their sustainable use, protection, and long-term conservation in Uganda.

In 2026, World Wildlife Day (WWD2026) will shine a spotlight on the critical role of medicinal and aromatic plants.

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are essential for both human health and ecological balance. Around the world, people collect and use MAPs, including roses, hydrangeas and hummingbirds are primarily attracted to the vibrant colors of roses and hydrangeas rather than their nectar. Roses, particularly their petals and hips, offer medicinal benefits like rich antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and mood-boosting properties, used for skin care (soothing irritation, hydrating), digestion (IBS, cramps), heart health (blood pressure), PMS relief (cramps, headaches), and as immune support due to high Vitamin C in rose hips, commonly consumed as teas, tinctures, or topical applications like rosewater and oils. Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens) is primarily used in traditional herbal medicine as a diuretic and to support urinary tract health, particularly for managing kidney stones, bladder infections, and gravel. Its compounds, such as coumarin, offer anti-inflammatory effects. It is commonly consumed as teas, tinctures, or capsules.

With my Flag CCL series which I prepared for the 250th anniversary of the USA, my Rose Flag, Hydrangea & Rose Flag and Flowers Butterflies and Hummingbirds Flag celebrates World Wildlife Day.

The event celebrates the importance of native seeds through poems and songs initiated by GOETHE Institute Max Muller Bhavan. This will be performed by India's renowned ecological restoration practitioners: Manasi Karandikar and Ketaki Ghate (co-founders of oikos for ecological services).

Celebrate World Wildlife Day with us! Join us for our day filled with fun activities and opportunities to learn about wildlife trade, pets, and more! We are also fundraising for Proyecto Titi, which is a conservation organization dedicated to Cotton Top Tamarinds.

Through Golden Karma Trail Tails, Spirit, our Golden Retriever mascot, brings viewers on his golden energy journey to share inspiring tales from the natural world. Through Spirit, one gets to learn about and experience the healing and restorative effects of nature by taking a virtual walk in the woods, meeting Spirit's many friends, and soaking in the positive energies found in the wild.

On World Wildlife Day, Spirit will share a short video in which he talks about the various animals in the wild – from bees to whales – who make a significant contribution to the greater good and how biodiversity is essential to maintain our planet's health. See link to video in "link" field.

This World Wildlife Day, we highlight the urgent and pervasive challenge of wildlife crime. Illegal wildlife trade is a multi-billion-dollar industry, driven by demand for exotic pets, traditional medicine, luxury goods, and trophies. Weak legal frameworks, corruption, and inadequate enforcement allow traffickers to operate with impunity, while limited resources hinder conservation efforts in the fight against poaching and trafficking.

The transnational nature of wildlife crime complicates enforcement, with online platforms further enabling anonymous illegal trade. Meanwhile, habitat destruction from deforestation and climate change, along with human-wildlife conflict, pushes communities toward poaching, accelerating species decline. Despite these many challenges, we are successfully combatting many illegal wildlife trade efforts.

To explore this critical issue, we are joined by two distinguished experts: John E. Scanlon, an international environmental leader with a distinguished career in law, policy, and conservation, and Prof. Phill Cassey, head of the Wildlife Crime Research Hub at the University of Adelaide. Together, they will help unravel the complexities of this global crisis.

On 20 December 2013 at the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), March 3 was declared United Nations World Wildlife Day (WWD). This day holds significance as the day that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was signed in 1973.
People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs - from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. For us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature brings us and our planet, people have been working together to make sure ecosystems are able to thrive and plant and animal species are able to exist for future generations.
In 2025, World Wildlife Day is be celebrated under the critical theme of "Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet."
On 3 March 2025 FAO Liaison Office with the Russian Federation together with UNEP and the National Committee of the UN Decade for Ecosystems Restoration in Russia organizes a press conference at TASS News Agency and a conference at the UN House in Moscow.

The proposed program will focus on Wildlife Habitat Management, which will be initiated by removing plastics and trash while walking through the campus and its environs. Clean and green initiative will help wildlife thrive and enhance the condition of corridors for migratory birds and wildlife.
