Correct Answer:
D. 3 March
Explanation:
World Wildlife Day is celebrated annually on March 3 to honor the planet's diverse flora and fauna. This specific date was chosen by the United Nations General Assembly to commemorate the 1973 signing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The day serves as a global platform to raise awareness about conservation efforts and the urgent need to protect endangered species from threats like habitat loss and illegal trade. While other dates in March celebrate specific animals, such as pandas or sparrows, March 3 is the dedicated international observance for all wildlife.
