World Wildlife Conservation Day highlights the efforts of people and organizations dedicated to conservation and protection of endangered species like tigers, elephants and rhinos. These and other species are regularly stalked and killed for their body parts, tusks, teeth and fur.
In addition to poaching, climate change, loss of habitats through deforestation and ongoing poaching have left many species in peril – their survival depends on us.
