 Gray wolf female, Hyder, AK, USA. Today, May 19th, 2023, is Endangered Species Day, first initiated by the Endangered Species Coalition. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, passed in 1973. While progress to protect endangered and threatened species has been made, especially in the US, extinction of species as a result of human activity is still a significant global problem. So today, celebrate the incredible biodiversity on this planet by thinking about what can be done to protect and preserve all species, and especially those threatened with extinction. Check out the Endangered Species Coalition's web page (endangered.org) for an event near you.
