Illegal hunting, trade and consumption are considered the main causes of the dramatic reduction in wildlife populations.
Moreover, humans are under the bad impact of wildlife consumption, such as disease transmission, being jailed, and ecological imbalance.
Provincial leaders at the event
Responding to the theme for World Wildlife Day this year - Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation, Tam Ky calls for not consuming or trading illegal wildlife and wildlife products; not hunting and capturing wildlife.
At the event, there was an impressive performance art telling the importance of wildlife and of wildlife conservation, thereby calling for preserving wild animals and plants.
