Get ready for World Wildlife Day

It’s World Wildlife Day next week. This celebration of the world’s wild habitats and creatures, founded by the United Nations in 2013, has a different theme each year. In 2024 it is:

Connecting People and Planet: Exploring Digital Innovation in Wildlife Conservation

So look out for lots of information about how we are using technology to help preserve our important wild spaces.

Here in the UK, we are immensely proud of our beautiful countryside and our wild animals. Can you guess which of our native species is officially our favourite? The fox, the hare, the badger or the hedgehog?
