Endangered Species Day is a unique annual event held across America. Its main purpose is to educate the public, particularly young people, about the importance of protecting endangered species and the habitats they require for their survival. It is also a celebration of the nation's robust wildlife and a reminder of the constant need to conserve biodiversity for future generations. This vital commemorative day was first observed in 2006 when the United States Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating a specific day to raise awareness about endangered species. Since then, the Endangered Species Day has grown exponentially, with schools, libraries, museums, zoos, botanical gardens, businesses, and community groups orchestrating and participating in hands-on wildlife conservation activities. Typically commemorated on the third Friday in May, Endangered Species Day highlights the ongoing efforts and key issues related to endangered species conservation. It provides a premier platform for individuals, organizations, and agencies to collaborate on local, national, and international levels and work towards a common goal: preventing the extinction of the world's most at-risk species.
