It is crucial that we work together now to transform and protect our planet’s natural systems in regenerative and sustainable ways.' Lisa Samford, Executive Director of Jackson Wild said: 'As we confront the threats of accelerating climate change impact widespread and global biodiversity collapse, the role of local stories that directly connect us with nature and the species who share our beautiful and resilient planet has never been more important. We believe that films participating in this year’s World Wildlife Day Film Showcase will greatly help us raise awareness of the urgent need to address these threats and help us spread an important message of hope.' Conservation efforts have and can continue to bring back endangered species of wild fauna and flora from the brink. Though this should alarm us, it is also essential that we remember that we have the power to change course. Participating films will be shown throughout 2022 and will help raise awareness of the status of the world’s most vulnerable species but also showcase the power of long-term and innovative conservation efforts.ĬITES Secretary-General Ivonne Higuero said: 'Some 38,000 species are considered to be under threat in international trade and, without them, the habitats and ecosystems they sustain would likely be at great risk themselves.

Along the celebration’s theme of ' Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration', organizers will seek to highlight films that explore the threats to wild fauna and flora, their central importance for their habitats and ecosystems and for the communities who live near them, and the numerous initiatives to conserve them. This marks the seventh edition of the World Wildlife Day Film Showcase.
