World Hearing Day

Every year on March 3, World Hearing Day is observed to encourage ear and hearing care worldwide and to increase awareness of ways to avoid deafness and hearing loss. WHO chooses the theme each year and creates evidence-based advocacy materials, including presentations, booklets, flyers, posters, banners, and posters.
Along with WHO regional and country offices, these materials are disseminated to collaborators in government and civil society all over the world. WHO hosts an annual celebration of World Hearing Day at its headquarters in Geneva.
The first event was held in 2007. Before 2016 it was known as International Ear Care Day.
This year's (2023) theme was "Ear and hearing care for all! Let's make it a reality".

World Wildlife Day

World Wildlife Day is celebrated on March 3 every year. This date was chosen as it is the birthday of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, signed in 1973. This global event is marked annually to celebrate and promote awareness of the planet's wild fauna and flora. The date also marks the adoption of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973. CITES aims to prevent international trade from threatening species' survival.
The commemoration was proposed by Thailand to celebrate and raise awareness of the world's wild fauna and flora.
World Wildlife Day in 2023 was celebrated under the theme "Partnerships for wildlife conservation", honouring the people who are making a difference.
