Wildlife vets celebrated

WE rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our basic needs, from food, fuel, medicine to housing and clothing.

In addition, millions of people depend on nature as a source of livelihood for economic opportunities.
That’s why we celebrate World Wildlife Day annually on 3 March, and this year’s them focuses on the Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation.

The theme presents an opportunity to recognise the invaluable contributions made by professional wildlife veterinarians who promote sustainability, protecting wildlife and biodiversity.

According to Gert Steyn, MD of the South African Veterinary Association (SAVA):
“World Wildlife Day is a chance for us to reflect on the significance of sustainability, wildlife, and biodiversity conservation, and the urgent need to safeguard endangered species.

“We must take action to address the underlying causes of wildlife loss and promote sustainable development that benefits both people and the planet.

“As we mark World Wildlife Day 2023, let us remember the vital importance of biodiversity to our planet’s health and wellbeing, and commit to taking action to protect our planet’s incredible wildlife for generations to come.”
