Culture Local News

Guest speaker: Dr. Nagy Gergely Sándor Lawyer, Lecturer at the Nature Conservation Zoology and Game Department, University of Debrecen, Debrecen Zoo.

For millennia, people and cultures have relied on nature’s rich diversity of wild plants and animals for food, clothing, medicine and spiritual sustenance. Wildlife remains integral to our future through its essential role in science, technology and recreation, as well as its place in our continued heritage. Despite its intrinsic value to sustainable development and human well-being, wildlife is under threat. That is why the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 3 March — the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) — as World Wildlife Day.

The presentation will give you a glimpse into the Wild trade as how it is regulated internationally and on national level. It also thrives to share in-field experiences and covers the challenges that needed to be tackled.

While the threats to wildlife are great, we can reduce them through our collective efforts. On this inaugural World Wildlife Day come and join us for a heated discussion and see what is that you can do to protect the most endangered species on our precious planet to be able to save them to the next generation!
