On International Orangutan Day on August 19, we show our support for orangutans. This day is meant to inspire people to take action to safeguard this amazing animal in the wild. It’s no surprise that orangutans are intellectual because they share 97 % of their D.N.A. with humans. This could explain why the term ‘orangutan’ means ‘forest person’ in English. 🦧

Reposted from @evergladesnps Habitat loss is a main reason species that live on land become endangered. For this Endangered Species Day, we recognize an Everglades habitat that is disappearing. The Pine Rocklands, also called the Pinelands, have hard rocky ground, made up of limestone. The pinelands are found on higher ground and a bit of elevation makes all the difference here! This makes it a dry habitat, unlike the majority of the Everglades. They are extremely unique -- the ‪Long Pine Key‬ area in ‪Everglades National Park‬ holds around 80% of all remaining pine rockland found in Florida This globally imperiled habitat is a hotspot for plant biodiversity and is home to several federally listed endangered species such as Florida prairieclover and our state mammal, the Florida panther, as well as federally threatened species, like Garber's spurge and the Eastern indigo snake.

It's December 28th. 🦋 On this day in 1973, US President Richard Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act into law. This act is considered to be one of the most significant and influential environmental laws in American history. At first glance, it appears to be no more than a federally-maintained list of animals on the brink of extinction, but it goes much deeper than that. This law supports federal agents, activists, and everyday people in their efforts to save endangered species.

The Endangered Species Act provides for the conservation of threatened and endangered plants and animals and their habitats – from iconic creatures like the Bald Eagle to lesser-known critters like the Island Night Lizard. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency charged with enforcing the Endangered Species Act, currently lists nearly 1,500 endangered and threatened species in the US. The law requires all federal agencies to ensure that their actions don't jeopardize any endangered species or their habitats.

There have always been conflicting views of the Endangered Species Act, and the Supreme Court has often had to intervene to settle disputes. Conflicts have often involved non-governmental conservation groups like Greenpeace and their tireless efforts to block potentially damaging actions by real estate developers, fossil fuel companies (oil spills, strip mines, pipeline routes, fracking, etc.), and the military (national security issues such as Navy sonar vs. whales).

The US currently suffers from growing political extremism. The Endangered Species Act is barely strong enough right now to safeguard our animal and plant populations. We need to make sure it's able to continue protecting our biodiversity and natural habitats into the foreseeable future because the danger of mass extinctions is real and looming.

We can do this. We succeeded in bringing the whooping crane, gray wolf, monarch butterfly, grizzly bear, American alligator, and so many more species back from the brink of extinction. This isn't our first rodeo. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

BIRD WAR TAROT FOOL N🚫TOOL - finished inking. Two significant days just passed: #Endangeredspeciesday & #Worldtarotday My journey has led me to present the world’s great avian diversity at risk interpreted through the spiritual and symbolic form of tarot. Scientific research helps us to grasp that we are in the onset of an extinction level event that puts 75% of the Earth’s biodiversity at risk. I can’t imagine a day without birds! Recognize our interconnected ecosystems and that it is up to us to protect life. Find your own inspiration and be dedicated. Do a bit of the essential good work every day. My inking brought this plate to life. I focused on weaponized details like the trumpeter swan person’s retractable wings with serrated feather tips used for foraging. This bird person grew a feathered texture and more sculptural body to emphasize movement. And the Oxenfly (Ox + Firefly) anthropomorphic hybrid took flight, pulling back to warn of the quickly approaching precipice like a conservation effort. These characters represent my hopeful vision for Life 4, a potential far future earth after persevering through another 2 extinction level events. ❤️🎨 #NoahXArts #Bird #BirdWar #tarot #1home #0 #Fool #majorarcana #tarotcommunity #swan #ox #firefly #drawing #artonpaper #fineart #endangered #birdart #surreal #conceptual #art #SymbolicRealism #symbolic #philosophy #spiritual #inspiration #creative #artist #artprocess (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeNAI9UsAPO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

National Endangered Species Day

Many magnificent species of animal and insect are at risk of going extinct, so join the cause by volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness of these threats.

We live in a world full of many animals, insects, plants, and creatures that are approaching risk of extinction – or are so close to extinction – that their species need help immediately.

When a species is defined as endangered, its numbers are unusually low – in the last few thousands, hundreds, or even tens. And when the last of the species is gone, they are gone for good.

This day was created to keep us aware of how fragile the existence of some animals, plants, and insects is – and, most importantly, reminds us to take the time to learn about why it’s so important to protect endangered species from any further harm.

History of National Endangered Species Day

Since time began, there have been endangered species. Perhaps one of the earliest and most learned about extinctions in history is that of the dinosaurs. However, an endangered species is one which is still in the world today, but may not be much longer if the right steps aren’t taken.

The International Union decides the status of ‘endangered’ for the Conservation of Nature. According to the IUCN, at least 40% of animals, insects, and plants are at risk of extinction across the world.

Some ways of helping endangered species have included captive breeding, which sees endangered or rare species in captivity encouraged to breed to improve their numbers in the wild.

Reasons for endangerment are varied – this may be down to environmental changes, overhunting by predators, poaching, the changing or destruction of habits by humans, or natural disasters, to name a few.

The first National Endangered Species Day was held in 2006, but there’s been official recognition of the issue for far longer than that. Laws have been on the books for more than forty years designed to protect species. In some countries, for instance, rules forbid economic development if it puts a particular species at risk of extinction. Many stipulations also prevent people from developing areas that are of exceptional ecological significance, such as bird breeding grounds and diverse swampland.

At root, National Endangered Species Day is designed to help people learn more about the environmental issues that the planet faces today. It isn’t about getting in people’s faces or even activism. Instead, it is to come together to find creative, win-win ways to solve the environmental problems that we have and protect the natural world. After all, we must all live in it!

The organizers of the day celebrate it through various public events and online. Typically, there are story readings from popular children’s books about the importance of looking after endangered species. There are also documentaries and lecture updates on the current state of conservation around the world and how species are thriving (or not as the case may be). And there are film screenings that communicate the issues the community wishes to express.

Apps are also playing an increasingly important role in proceedings. Rather than just showing people pre-produced content, the organizers are getting regular people involved through their smartphones. The What’s In My Backyard? identification challenge is a fun way for people to chronicle the various species living in their gardens and get a sense of how diverse they are.

Endangered species day reminds us all that some of our favorite creatures are at risk of going extinct. According to the IUCN Red List Of Threatened Species, there are now more than 16,000 species of fungi, algae, plants, and animals that might disappear from our planet forever. Among them are iconic creatures such as the bald eagle, the alligator, and the gray wolf.

The Encyclopedia Britannica suggests that around half of all species on the list are endangered because of human activities. Issues such as global warming, an abundance of invasive species, overfishing, and overhunting are the driving forces behind the current crisis. There’s a tremendous need for a worldwide conservation effort to prevent many of the species that we dearly cherish from being lost forever. The good news, though, is that there’s a lot that you can do.

How to celebrate National Endangered Species Day

There are always a number of wildlife conservation services taking part in National Endangered Species Day, often holding informational events for children and adults or activity days to help fund further conservation.

If you are local to an event, make sure to pop along with your children and learn about the weird and wonderful creatures efforts such as this are trying to save.

Or take the time out to read up on some of the species that are approaching extinction, and if you are able to go to a zoo which has some of these species in their care, be sure to organize paying a visit with your family.

Make sure you use the hashtag #endangeredspeciesday on social media and be sure to share pictures of some of the cutest and majestic endangered critters to really get people’s attention!

You can show your support for worldwide wildlife conservation efforts through official channels too. For instance, you can join the millions of people who are already members of the Wildlife Federation.

You can also do small things like update your Facebook profile cover photo with your favorite endangered species. When people ask why you made the change, you can tell them that you’re celebrating National Endangered Species Day and a part of worldwide conservation efforts.

The bottom line is this: the more we take care of all the species on our planet, the better it will be. And that’s what makes this particular day of the year so important.

May 19th is #EndangeredSpeciesDay, so for the blog here's a look at Van Gogh's two exotic animal paintings, one of a "green parrot" and the other of a "flying fox," and the real-life endangered species they depict:

#1 The Green Parrot, 1886, private collection #2 Flying Fox, 1884, Van Gogh Museum

Personifying prehistoric beauty, theological relevance, and environmental importance, this August 12, we honor one of Earth’s most magnificent creatures with World Elephant Day. Over the last decade, the number of elephants has significantly dropped by 62% and they could be mostly extinct by the end of the next decade.

It is estimated that, every day, 100 African elephants are killed by poachers. The desire for ivory in Asian markets has led to the slaughter of thousands of elephants. World Elephant Day was created to raise awareness and create change to save these majestic creatures. Since its founding in 2012 by Patricia Sims and the Elephant Reintroduction Foundation of Thailand along with over 100 elephant conservation organizations worldwide, World Elephant Day has reached millions of individuals who love elephants and want to do whatever they can to help.

World Elephant Day is a day where organizations and individuals can rally together to give a voice to the issues threatening elephants.

This powerful, collective global movement offers a way to establish and endorse conservation solutions to make the world a safer place for elephants and their habitats so future generations can appreciate them.

Let’s combine all our efforts on August 12 for World Elephant Day 2021 to help preserve and safeguard elephants from the multiple threats they face. 🐘

At the speed of the world, many things are destroyed, many things are created, but everything that is created is machines and technology and is made by man, but it is the living animals and human beings that are dying, it is humans who have to take the initiative to save them, it is our duty to save them, it is our duty to create awareness and environment for them to live, so let us inform everyone. To protect endangered animals. And its history dates back to 28 December 1973 when the Endangered Species Act was enacted into law. The Act aims to create awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and rehabilitation of endangered species. This day is observed on the third Friday of May every year..!

"Man has a duty to protect, so man has to protect everything, whether it is a human being or a bird. Whatever it is, it is man's responsibility to protect everything"

Recovering species to maintain the diversity of the world’s ecosystems and for ecosystem restoration, it is salient that we protect our endangered species.

The cycle of predation and becoming the prey, the maintenance of the food chain and food web, and the equilibrium of carnivores, herbivores and plants are of utmost importance in the smooth running of the environment.
