What is World Wildlife Day?
World Wildlife Day, March 3, celebrates the world's wild animals and plants and raises awareness of threats to them, such as habitat loss and illegal trade.
History of World Wildlife Day
March 3 is the date in 1973 when the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, known as CITES, was signed. The UN General Assembly proclaimed the day in December 2013, and it was first observed in 2014.
World Wildlife Day today
Zoos, parks and conservation groups hold events, and the CITES Secretariat leads a theme such as marine life, forests or wildlife partnerships.

How the World Wildlife Day date is calculated
- World Wildlife Day is on March 3 every year. In 2027 that is a Wednesday.
- The countdown counts calendar days from today to March 3, 2027. The start date is excluded and the end date is included. Dates use Eastern Time (America/New_York).
- The live countdown runs to midnight at the start of March 3, 2027 in Eastern Time (America/New_York). A countdown day is 24 hours, so a daylight-saving change can make it differ from the calendar-day count by an hour.
- Calculated at 6:33 AM on October 24, 2026.
- U.S. business days exclude Saturday, Sunday and observed nationwide federal closures; individual employer and state schedules are not included.
