Why We Celebrate World Wildlife Day

Effects of Biodiversity Loss

Our planet Earth is sheltering to several species of flora and fauna. Though, in the last few decades, due to human's unsustainable activities, wildlife species and the natural resources are overexploiting, pushing the Earth's biodiversity at risk. Currently, a more substantial part of species is facing the threat of becoming extinct. We all have to come together to save our Earth and its biodiversity.
