On World Wildlife Day, Doopsgezind Amsterdam is organizing an inspiring lecture about birds in Amsterdam.

The lecture will be given by Arjan Dwarshuis and Gisbert van Baalen from the Vogelspotcast. In this popular podcast, Arjan (world record holder in birdwatching) and Gisbert share stories and anecdotes about birds.

During the lecture, various topics will be discussed. Using examples from the city – from house sparrow to peregrine falcon – they will highlight how birds adapt to urban life, which species are thriving, which are under pressure, and why city birds are so important for Amsterdam’s biodiversity. They will also discuss what we as residents can do to support birds and their habitats, for example through green gardens, biodiversity on balconies, and other places in the city.

In addition, Gisbert will highlight bird stories from the Bible, in which birds often symbolize freedom, protection, and care for creation. He will show how these stories can inspire us to pay attention to the birds around us and how we can help preserve their habitat in the city.

“In Amsterdam, we notice that some bird species are disappearing or that their migration patterns are changing. During the lecture, we will look at what we can do to help birds and their habitats in the city.”

You are warmly welcome. Admission is free!

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

“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.

World Wildlife Day 2026 is celebrated on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, with the theme "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods," focusing on the vital role these plants play in human health, culture, and economies. With the Rose Flag CCL by Selva Ozelli the Putnam History Museum celebrates Roses which are a symbol of the USA, NY State and are commercialized are heavily commercialized in Turkey, especially in the Isparta region, a major global hub for producing rose oil, water, and various rose-based products like cosmetics, Turkish delight, and even fresh cut roses for export, leveraging the highly-prized Damascene rose for its rich fragrance and extracts. Turkey is a top global supplier, and its industry supports local economies through cultivation, harvesting, and processing.

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."

The NGO Beica Mădulari RO develops the only integrated system applied to medicinal plants, a complete circuit from wild seed, study, conservation of virgin species (12 endemic and 2 allogeneic) through cultivation, conservation, processing to the natural bioenzymatic product, this system is built exclusively around medicinal plants as complete living biological systems, based on the principle of development, conservation and delivery of the entire holobiome, all with the ultimate goal of disseminating knowledge and educating communicators by offering the chance for their development.
What is implemented and functional:
In a year of activity through active partnerships with the Vâlcea Agricultural Directorate, the Faculty of Pharmacy - University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova and the Bucharest Metropolitan Library on scientific educational coordination activities, we managed to establish a material base (2000 sqm of protected spaces and 1000 sqm of free spaces for comparative culture) of culture and to implement a concept applied to 14 species of medicinal plants in applied study - wild Carpathian ecotypes collected from virgin areas (mostly from Polovragi) and allogeneic species (2 species) in acclimatization. A complete operational chain applied exclusively to medicinal plants: wild seed collection, controlled cultivation in greenhouses, systematic study of species and ecotypes, reversible preservation of holobionts at ambient temperature by the Sarcophagus Method (original), 100% natural enzymatic bioconversion, education and dissemination of knowledge through observations and applied studies provided free of charge – in 2025 over 180 students participated in extracurricular events and activities.
What makes this unprecedented for an NGO: no other non-governmental entity in the world dealing with medicinal plants operates the complete circuit - from wild seed to natural bioenzymatic final product - treating the plant at every stage as a holobiont: intact microbiome, active native enzymes, preserved biological matrix. This is not a laboratory, not a seed bank, not a processing unit. It is all of this, integrated under a single applied concept, in a single location, strictly on medicinal plants.
March 3, 2026 — World Wildlife Day Program:
Live demonstration of the Sarcophagus Method — medicinal plants preserved 6 months ago, rehydrated in commercially available plain water, holobionts returning to functional parameters.
Presentations on the integrated concept of medicinal plants-HOLOBIOM—40 students from 4 partner schools Presentation of the base for applied studies to university and school teachers — the open and free base for students and pupils, as a living research and education platform.
Signing of the Beică Charter — Declaration of the Seven Principles.
Wild seeds → Cultivation → Study → Conservation → Bioenzymation → Education → AI. Applied.

The event will include educational activities, wildlife exhibitions, and community engagement initiatives, aligning with the sanctuary's mission to protect and conserve wildlife. We will ensure all activities are safe, respectful, and do not disrupt the sanctuary's operations.

In person event in collaboration between SPREP and MNRE. Location: Information Fale at the Vailima Botanical Garden.

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".

Our goal is to empower youth to design "nature-positive" communities where coastal restoration and wildlife health are the foundations of regional resilience. Rooted in the rich soil of our heritage and driven by the urgency of the climate crisis, our work for World Wildlife Day 2026 reclaims the narrative of Cambodian conservation. We believe that protecting our wildlife is an act of preserving our identity. As youth leaders, we bridge the gap between local ecological wisdom and international climate standards, demonstrating that the protection of Cambodia's 'Blue Carbon' sinks is a vital contribution to the global fight for a cooler, greener planet.

Resulting from an immersive study of the Kampot wetlands, this landmark project represents the first youth-driven collaboration between the Future Climate Heroes and The Verdant Botany. By synthesising technical expertise with local ecological knowledge, the initiative addresses the intersection of cultural heritage and environmental stewardship through two core pillars:

1. The Heritage Narrative (Visual Advocacy) An educational poster, "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage, and Livelihoods," which highlights the coastline as a "living pharmacy" essential to both cultural identity and economic stability.

2. Digital Masterclass (Capacity Building): A session titled "Biodiverse Urbanism: Wildlife Health & Eco-Tourism as a Shield Against the Illegal Trade." It focuses on youth-led community engagement and sustainable eco-tourism as powerful economic alternatives to the illegal wildlife trade (1st March 1-2 PM).

The Mindful Explorer — A Virtual Field Trip for World Wildlife Day
Join the Adventure: From the Swiss Mountains to Your Family Room or Your Classroom

This World Wildlife Day (March 3rd), go on a virtual journey through the breathtaking Swiss Mountains. Led by a teacher with over 20 years of experience, this pre-recorded field trip invites you to "come along" and see the world through a nature-positive lens.

As we witness the shift from winter to spring, we explore what it means to be a Mindful Explorer. This session puts wildlife at the heart of our actions, reminding us that whenever we step outside, we are guests in someone else's home.

What’s Included in the Journey:
The 5 Pillars of Mindful Exploration: Practical tips to ensure we are considerate adventurers (from staying on paths to being "nature detectives").

The Science of the Season: Observing the transition from snow to sprout and what that means for our local animal life.

A Story of Hibernation: A special segment to help children connect with their "wild neighbours"—learning about those waking up from a winter's sleep and those who have been active all year round.

Extension activities for use with children.


Why Tune In?
Based on the 100 For Earth framework, this field trip is designed to help educators integrate movement, meaning, and connection into the (school) day. It is a science-informed invitation to shift school culture and live our values alongside the children in our care.

Experience the beauty, hear the stories, and learn how to put 100% toward the Earth.

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 theme for world wildlife day for 2026 is Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods
Celebrating World Wild Life artist Selva Ozelli prepared Flag CCL Series for 3 Museums Putnam History Museum,
National Lighthouse Museum,
Havre de Grace Maritime Museum and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University

With her Rose Flag CCL Selva highlights that roses offer diverse medicinal uses, with petals, hips, and roots acting as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial agents for skin issues, digestive problems (diarrhea, cramps), and mood support (anxiety, depression). Traditional remedies include rose water for skin and eyes, rose hip tea for colds, and petal infusions for soothing throats, while ancient practices used various parts for heart health, and even fever relief, according to herbal traditions like Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine.

World renown photographer Ian Hutton, who is the curator of the Lord Howe Island Museum, and award-winning oil artist Selva Ozelli from the Hudson Valley teamed up to bring a taste of Lord Howe Island Group to the Cunneen Hackett Art Center with their art show titled “Paradise.”

This art show captures the wildlife beauty of Lord Howe Island Group which was inscribed on the World Heritage Register in 1982 under the United Nations' World Heritage Convention in recognition of its superlative natural phenomena and its rich terrestrial and marine biodiversity as an outstanding example of an island ecosystem developed from submarine volcanic origin containing a unique biota of plants and animals, as well as the world’s most southerly true coral reef. It is an area of spectacular and scenic landscapes with cloud forests encapsulated within a small land area. It provides important breeding grounds for colonies of seabirds, coral fish as well as a significant natural habitat for the conservation of threatened species.

This program will empower youth collaboration at local, national, regional, and global levels to build, preserve and strengthen sustainable urban ecosystems. This initiative will specifically focus on fauna and flora enrichment within cities, urban forests, and green implementation spearheaded by youth. Building on our participation in the World Wildlife Day Regional Youth Symposium 2025 and our panel discussion, “Building Healthier Urban Communities through Green and Public Spaces,” at the Phnom Penh Houseplant Festival on March 1st and 2nd respectively, we are prioritising this project as a key initiative. To further engage youth, we will launch a “7-day campaign”, beginning today, to share seven youth perspectives on their role in protecting and promoting urban ecosystems.

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.

On World Wildlife Day (March 3), Save the Habitat Foundation is organizing an event to raise awareness about the wildlife of the Salt Range and pothohar. Wildlife experts from STHF and the Salt Range will join a live session to discuss conservation efforts. The event will also feature a tree plantation drive and a special video presentation showcasing the region’s diverse wildlife.

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.

Antropogén világunk intenzív és sokszor erőszakos terjeszkedésével egyre szűkül a körülöttünk élő állatok élettere, és egyre gyakoribbá válik az emberi és a vadvilág közötti interakció. Ebben a megváltozott világban kötelességünk mindent megtenni azért, hogy a természet rendjébe történő beavatkozás, a természetes ökoszisztémák megbolygatása és a természetes élőhelyek elvétele ne vonja maga után a vadvilág szenvedését.
Az utóbbi évtizedekben sokmindent elvettünk a természettől- ideje visszaadnunk neki!
Segítsük lehetőségünk szerint a körülöttünk élő állatok életben maradását a legkülönfélébb állatvédelmi eszközökkel és intézkedésekkel!
Az Ecological Farm and Bird-Nest Box Station egy eszközpark bővítéssel csatlakozik a World Wildlife Day 2025-ös kampányához: egy fél hektáros területet teszünk vadvilág-baráttá. Gondolunk a madarakra, a kisemlősökre és a hüllőkre, kétéltűekre is - és természetesen a legapróbb rovarok sem maradhatnak ki a sorból! Hiszen csak így, EGYÜTT van esélyünk egy élhető jövőt teremteni!

With the intense and often violent expansion of our anthropogenic world, the habitat of the animals around us is shrinking and human-wildlife interactions are becoming more frequent. In this changed world, it is our duty to do everything we can to ensure that interference in the natural order, the disturbance of natural ecosystems and the taking of natural habitats does not lead to the suffering of wildlife.
We have taken so much from nature in recent decades - it is time to give it back!
Let's help the animals around us to survive as much as we can, through a variety of conservation tools and measures.
The Ecological Farm and Bird-Nest Box Station is joining the World Wildlife Day 2025 campaign with a tool park extension: we are making a half hectare area wildlife-friendly.
We're thinking about birds, small mammals and reptiles, amphibians - and of course, the tiniest insects are not left out! Because only in this way, TOGETHER, do we have a chance to create a viable future!

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."

The Department of Forestry and the Department of Journalism at Sir Syed College, Taliparamba, are jointly organizing an academic observance of World Wildlife Day 2025 under the theme "Human-Wildlife Interface: Navigating Conflicts for Coexistence." The event aims to promote a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted challenges posed by human-wildlife conflicts and the critical need for fostering coexistence through sustainable conservation practices.

Human-wildlife conflicts have emerged as a pressing global challenge, particularly in the wake of rapid habitat fragmentation, climate change, and expanding human settlements. Addressing these conflicts requires a nuanced understanding of ecological, socio-economic, and cultural dimensions. The program aspires to provide a platform for academic discourse and creative engagement, bridging scientific inquiry with visual narratives to inspire innovative solutions for harmonious coexistence.

As part of the event, a Photography Competition will be conducted to encourage participants to document the dynamic interactions between humans and wildlife. The competition invites photographic submissions that depict various aspects of human-wildlife interface, including conflicts, coexistence, and conservation efforts. The visual representations are expected to provoke critical reflections on the underlying causes of conflicts and the need for inclusive conservation strategies.

In addition, a Documentary Screening will showcase thought-provoking visual narratives that delve into human-wildlife conflict scenarios from both global and local perspectives. The documentary screening will be followed by an interactive discussion session, providing an opportunity for participants to engage in critical conversations on the ecological, social, and ethical dimensions of human-wildlife interactions.
