Celebrate saving species. Endangered Species Day

Each year on the third Friday of May, people worldwide recognise Endangered Species Day—a day to celebrate, learn about and act on behalf of at-risk wildlife. First launched in 2006 by the Endangered Species Coalition and conservationist David Robinson, this event inspires local and global efforts to protect threatened animals and their habitats.

The stunning bird, featured in today's image, is the great green macaw. Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this colourful parrot is critically endangered, with fewer than 1,000 individuals estimated in the wild. These intelligent, social birds depend heavily on old-growth forests, particularly in places like Costa Rica, where they nest in almendro trees. Deforestation and habitat fragmentation remain their greatest threats. On May 16, let's join wildlife refuges, schools and conservation groups in celebrating and supporting biodiversity. Every voice counts in protecting species that still have a fighting chance.
