March 03, 2022

World Wildlife Day, observed on March 3 every year, is an opportunity to celebrate beautiful varied forms of wild fauna. It is also observed to raise awareness to conserve them. In balancing our ecosystem Animals and plants have a huge contribution. They even contribute towards the generic, social, economic, scientific, educational, and human well-being of sustainable development.

WORLD WILDLIFE DAY: HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE

The UN General Assembly on December 20, 2013, during its 68th session, decided to declare March 3, as a day for the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna, as World Wildlife Day. This day has become one of the most important global annual events dedicated to wildlife.

Around more than 8000 species of wild fauna and flora are endangered and close to 30,000 more are known to be on the verge of getting extinct or vulnerable. It is also estimated that around a million species are said to be extinct. This day holds significance for the UN because saving these species aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 12, 13, 14, and 15, and their commitments like alleviating poverty, ensuring sustainable use of resources, and conserving life on land.

THEME: WORLD WILDLIFE DAY 2022

‘Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration’ is the theme for this year. This theme is chosen as a way to draw attention to the conservation status of some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora. This is to drive the discussion towards imagining and implementing solutions to conserve wildlife.

This year, the day will drive debates on the imperative need to reserve the fate of the critically endangered species of animals and birds. This will be taken to restore their habitats and ecosystems and promote sustainable use by humanity.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
