It is celebrated throughout the world on 5 June encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment. It serves as people’s day for doing something to save our mother earth. Every year, WED is organized around a theme that focuses attention on a particularly pressing environmental concern. WED 2016 is themed on the illegal trade in wildlife under the slogan ‘Go Wild for Life'.
To commemorate the day, a programme was arranged at the school linked to this year’s theme “Go Wild for Life-Zero tolerance for illegal wildlife trafficking”. It is being one of the major threats to biodiversity loss and driving the species to brink of extinction.
