In December 2013, the UN General Assembly declared March 3 as World Wildlife Day, as this is the date in 1973 when the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was adopted. The purpose of World Wildlife Day is to connect people with nature and to encourage continuous learning and action for the protection of animals and plants every day of the year.
This year’s theme is “Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Preserving Health, Heritage, and Livelihood,” highlighting the critical role of medicinal and aromatic plants in our lives and in nature conservation.
Our Zoo will hold the World Wildlife Day event on Sunday, March 1, in cooperation with partner organizations. The event is presented as one of the most important global conservation-themed zoo programs, offering visitors a wide range of educational and interactive activities.
Programs include demonstration feedings, scavenger hunt games, craft workshops, and age-specific tasks, all complemented by surprises. In addition to our cooperating partners, zoo staff will also participate with stands in the educational station-based games.
The stations will be open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and, due to unpredictable weather, are primarily set up indoors.
Details will be announced soon.
Please note that photo and video recordings will be made during the event. Participation constitutes consent to be recorded. The Zoo may use the photos for promotion on its website or social media. If anyone does not wish to appear in the recordings, please inform the staff recording the footage or contact us in writing at info@zoobudapest.com.
We reserve the right to make changes to the program.
The event can be visited with a general zoo ticket or an annual pass.
