Endangered Species Day is a celebration of our nation's wildlife and wild places.  Started in 2006 by the United States Congress, Endangered Species Day is the third Friday of May.

Endangered Species Day is an opportunity for people young and old to learn about the importance of protecting endangered species and everyday actions that people can take to help protect our nation's disappearing wildlife and last remaining open space.

This year, Senator Feinstein has introduced a resolution designating Friday, May 15th 2009 as Endangered Species Day. Please write your Senator and ask him or her to support the Endangered Species Day resolution.
