International Dark-Sky Week
Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration, learning, and action!
World Wetlands Day
A call to take action for wetlands is the focus of this years’ campaign. It's an appeal to invest financial, human and political capital to save the world’s wetlands from disappearing and to restore those we have degraded. https://www.worldwetlandsday.org/
International Polar Bear Day
We created the day to coincide with the time when polar bear moms and cubs are snug in their dens. As part of our celebration, we focus on the need to protect denning families across the Arctic. https://polarbearsinternational.org/act-now/awareness-events/international-polar-bear-day/
World Wildlife Day
World Wildlife Day (WWD) will be celebrated in 2022 under the theme “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration”. The celebrations will seek to draw attention to the conservation status of some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora, and to drive discussions towards imagining and implementing solutions to conserve them. https://wildlifeday.org/
