We don"t need an excuse to highlight and celebrate wildlife, but as it turns out, today is the UN"s World Wildlife Day. This year"s theme is "Sustaining all life on Earth," focusing on biodiversity. The UN and its partners are producing a series of programs and social media activities, including an event at UN Headquarters in New York, a film festival, and an international youth art competition.
