World Wildlife Day 2021

On 3 March we celebrated UN World Wildlife Day 2021 - Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet.

Featuring the launch of '60 Second Species', new short and informative weekly video clips by the Vivarium Team, an exclusive performance by Mexican composer and musician Francisco Lozano and the chance to treat yourself to a 'must-have' Sylvia the Frog T-shirt.

We shared our event on Social Media using the hashtags:
