Endangered Species Day
Celebrate success in endangered species protection and recovery
Help us celebrate May 16th as “Endangered Species Day,” the THIRD annual celebration of America’s commitment to protecting and recovering our nation’s endangered species.
On May 16, America will celebrate endangered species success stories, including the protection and recovery of the American bald eagle, peregrine falcon, gray wolf, grizzly bear, humpback whale and many of our nation’s wildlife, fish and plants.
The day will be used to encourage the people of the United States to become educated about, and aware of, the threats to species, success stories in species recovery, and the opportunity to promote species conservation worldwide.
Endangered Species Day provides an opportunity for schools, libraries, museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, agencies, businesses, and community groups to educate the public about the importance of protecting endangered species and highlight everyday actions that individuals and groups can take to help protect our nation’s endangered species.
