Help Spread the Word About Endangered Species and Biodiversity!

Join or Organize an Event this May!

 

Throughout May, wildlife refuges, aquaria, parks, botanic gardens, schools, libraries, museums, and community groups will hold tours, exhibits, classroom discussions, habitat restoration projects, children’s programs, field trips and other activities to raise awareness about endangered species and biological diversity.

 

Hundreds of events are held in the United States and around the world each year for Endangered Species Day and World Biodiversity Day.

 

What is Endangered Species Day?  

*	Offers opportunities to participate in direct hands-on activities that help at-risk plants and wildlife
*	Reminds us of the importance of protecting our threatened and at-risk species;
*	Highlights the many stunning success stories of species recovery; and
*	Promotes the everyday actions people can take to protect disappearing plants and wildlife and their remaining habitats

Events include:

*	Open houses (Botanic Gardens, Nature Centers, etc)
*	Wildflower and nature walks
*	Pollinator garden planting
*	Rare plant habitat restoration
*	Festivals (e.g. pollinator festivals, eco-festivals)
