Happy Endangered Species Day!

Every year the third Friday in May is Endangered Species Day.  Started in 2006 by the United States Congress, Endangered Species Day is a celebration of the nation’s wildlife and wild places. 

Endangered Species Day is an opportunity to learn about the importance of protecting endangered species and the everyday actions you can take to help protect them.  So today visit your favorite zoo, aquarium, park, botanical garden, wildlife refuge, museum, conservation group or other such organization to learn about helping our world's species stay or get off that list!
