'Speak out against cruelty'
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres, in a statement ahead of World Wildlife Day, warned about the overexploitation of wildlife, habitats and ecosystems. Guterres said that the overexploitation is endangering the survival of countless species of wild plants and animals and humanity itself. Check out tweets on World Wildlife Day from several other public figures:
Nature doesn't belong to us, we belong to nature. For all of us to survive its important to realise that those who protect & save other animals lead the way in protecting & saving humanity and Earth. #WorldWildlifeDay #SustainAllLife #ting pic.twitter.com/3nD8sT3lXI

Some of our happiest moments have been spent in the wild, marvelling at the majesty of the animal kingdom. This planet is theirs as much as ours. Let’s be the voice of the voiceless – speak out against cruelty, empower conservation. #WorldWildlifeDay pic.twitter.com/TrAfxLU2o9
