World Wildlife Day 2025: “Animals x Ethical Consumption” at Nonhoi Park(Zoo)

World Wildlife Day (March 3rd) is a commemorative day established by the United Nations following the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wildlife. The WWD2025 Theme is Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet.
Thinking about the way we consume every day is an activity that allows each individual to contribute to wildlife conservation, and is an activity that leads to investing in people and the planet itself.

This time, Wildlife College students* will research products (ethical consumption and direct use) related to the animal species kept and exhibited, and will hold lectures, guides, and poster exhibitions.
