National Endangered Species Day is observed annually on the third Friday in May.
In 2023 it is being observed on 19 May to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
Objective – To spread awareness on the importance of protecting endangered species, their habitats, and the efforts needed to do so.
Theme 2023 – Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the endangered species act
The National Endangered Species Day was established by the US Senate, in 2006. In the 1960s and 1970, global concerns about animal welfare and the issue of extinction of key species were raised.
The United States acted on the raised issues and on December 28, 1973, the Endangered Species Act was enacted. This was a landmark legislation which institutionalized the country’s commitment to the conservation of plants and wildlife and their habitats.
