Wildlife day

World wildlife day.
On 20 December 2013, at its 68th session, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) decided to proclaim 3 March, the day of signature of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), as UN World Wildlife Day to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The UNGA resolution also designated the CITES Secretariat as the facilitator for the global observance of this special day for wildlife on the UN calendar.
Every 3 March.

Fairtrade fortnight
2020-02-24 - 2020-03-08
The people who grow the food we take for granted can’t always feed their own families. Fairtrade can support farmers and workers to put food on the table for their families by harnessing the power of a Fairtrade breakfast. During Fairtrade Fortnight, we will be encouraging campaigners to inspire Big Fairtrade Breakfasts in their community – and wake others up to the challenges facing farmers and workers.
Monday to Sunday.

World Wetlands Day

World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year on 2 February. This day marks the date of the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
2nd of February every year; worldwide.
