Environment
Celebrations of the 69th edition of National Wildlife Week, an annual event, commenced at the National Zoological Park on October 2 and will go on until October 8.This year’s theme "Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation", inspired by the theme of the UN World Wildlife Day 2023, honours the individuals and organisations making a positive impact on wildlife.Designed to foster inclusivity and collective action in the realm of conservation, the week-long celebrations will underscore the idea that partnerships and collaborations are essential components of effective wildlife preservation.National Wildlife Week’s history dates back to 1952 when the Indian Board of Wildlife conceived the concept as a means to raise awareness about the long-term objectives of safeguarding India's wildlife. Originally observed as Wildlife Day in 1955, it later evolved into a week-long event in 1957.
