Every year on April 8th, animal enthusiasts across the United States come together to celebrate National Zoo Lovers Day. This special day offers an opportunity to appreciate the vital role that zoos play in wildlife conservation, education, and research. Whether you’re a lifelong zoo aficionado or someone looking to learn more about these institutions, National Zoo Lovers Day is the perfect occasion to explore and support your local zoo.

Every year on March 3rd, the world comes together to celebrate World Wildlife Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the incredible diversity of wildlife and the urgent need to protect it. This special day was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013 to honor the signing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973. Since then, it has served as a global reminder of the importance of conservation and the delicate balance between humans and the natural world.
