What is National Wildlife Day?
There are thousands of endangered species all over the world. It is a holiday that aims to give these creatures a voice. As fellow inhabiters of the earth, they deserve to have a proper home be treated with dignity. Mistreatment, ecological balance, and excessive hunting are some of the topics discussed during this period.
The History of National Wildlife Day
This holiday has a long history. Wildlife awareness efforts began on March 1, 1872, when Yellowstone National Park was founded. Then on September 27, 1962, through a documentary, the truth behind pesticides and their effect on the environment began to emerge. Then under President Nixon, the Endangered Species Act was passed on December 28, 1973. This is meant to protect creatures who are facing extinction. Then in 2006, in honor of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, the date was set on September 4.
