In 2024, World Wildlife Day will explore digital innovation and seek to highlight how digital technologies and services can drive wildlife conservation and human-wildlife coexistence, now and for future generations, in an increasingly connected world.

 

Under the theme "Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation" the World Wildlife Day 2024 celebrations will aim to raise awareness of the latest applications of digital technologies in wildlife conservation and trade and the impact on ecosystems and communities around the world of certain digital interventions. The Day promises to feature new tools for enhancing our efforts to safeguard biodiversity and the benefits we derive from wild animals and plants.

 

It will offer a platform to engage in a balanced discussion around inclusive and responsible digital innovation, while addressing the challenges of the 'digital divide', in line with the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
