    Endangered Species Day was officially established in 2006 by the United States Congress. The initiative was led by the U.S. Senate, in cooperation with conservation organizations and educational institutions, to increase awareness about the growing number of species facing extinction. The day was created to recognize the importance of wildlife conservation and to celebrate the progress made under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973. The ESA, signed into law by President Richard Nixon, became a landmark legal framework for identifying, protecting, and recovering imperiled species and their habitats in the United States.

    The first observance of Endangered Species Day took place on May 11, 2006, and quickly gained traction among schools, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and environmental organizations. The day was marked by public events, classroom discussions, nature walks, and community-based conservation projects. Since then, it has been celebrated annually on the third Friday of May, with a growing number of participants each year.

    Over the years, Endangered Species Day has expanded from a national awareness event to a global environmental movement. Countries around the world now use the day to highlight their own native endangered species and promote international conservation efforts. The day provides an opportunity for people of all ages to learn about biodiversity, the threats facing wildlife, and the steps needed to prevent extinction. It also encourages community involvement in habitat protection, policy advocacy, and sustainable practices.

    Thanks to continued public engagement and education, Endangered Species Day has helped drive support for the protection of countless species—from iconic animals like the Bald Eagle and Sea Turtle, to lesser-known plants and insects. It reminds us of the critical role each species plays in maintaining the balance of ecosystems, and the shared responsibility we have in preserving Earth’s natural heritage.

    Significance of National Endangered Species Day

    A species is defined as endangered when its numbers are unusually low. It is one which is still in the world today, but may not be much longer if the right steps aren’t taken. They become extinct from mother earth because of the devastating activities of human beings. According to the IUCN Red List Of Threatened Species, there are now more than 16,000 species of fungi, algae, plants, and animals at the verge of extinction. The bald eagle, the alligator, and the gray wolf etc. are some examples.

    Endangered Species Day is an opportunity for each one of us to show our support to conserve the threatened species across the globe. The National Endangered Species Act accentuates the efforts made to preserve the natural habitat of the animals. In India, according to the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, hunting of wild animals has been banned to eradicate the risk of endangered species extinction.

    National Endangered Species Day Theme 2025

    The theme for National Endangered Species Day 2025 is “Celebrating the Conservation of Species.” This year’s focus is on recognizing the progress made in saving endangered animals and plants through dedicated conservation efforts. It highlights success stories where species have recovered thanks to protective laws, habitat restoration, and community involvement. The theme encourages people to appreciate these victories while continuing to support the protection of vulnerable species.

    In 2025, the day is observed on Friday, May 16, and it also marks the 20th anniversary of Endangered Species Day. This milestone offers a special opportunity to reflect on how far global conservation efforts have come in two decades. The theme invites schools, organizations, and the public to engage in awareness campaigns, educational events, and creative activities that promote the value of wildlife protection. By focusing on positive change, the 2025 theme aims to inspire future generations to take action for endangered species.

    • Extinct (EX) – No known individuals of these species remaining.
    • Extinct within the wild (EW) – Known only to survive in captivity, or as a naturalized population outside its historic range
    • Critically endangered (CR) – Extremely high risk of extinction within the wild
    • Endangered (EN) – The risk of extinction in the wild is high
    • Vulnerable (VU) – The risk of endangerment in the wild is high
    • Near threatened (NT) – This group is likely to become endangered in the near future
    • Least concern (LC) – Lowest risk (Does not qualify for a more at-risk category)
    • Data deficient (DD) – Unavailability of enough data to make an assessment of its extinction rate.
    • Not evaluated (NE) – This group of species has not yet been evaluated against the criteria
