The design for this year's World Wildlife Day design was created Xavi Reñé. In recognition of this year's World Wildlife Day also being the 50th anniversary of CITES, the artist chose to present a very special design, with bright and cheerful colors, highlighting some of the animals and plants that are part of the three CITES appendices surrounding the number 50. He also included a representation of the human diversity that unites us to be able to move forward and overcome these times of climate crisis, in partnerships for wildlife.
