World Wildlife Day!

Today is World Wildlife Day!  The United Nations has more info on this program on their website if you haven't already heard about it.  In short...World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people. At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime, which has wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.

 So...I thought I would not only show some photos that have been shared on that website but on others.  I was also checking out the World Wildlife Fund's website earlier today.  It's been a while since my last visit.  I used to frequent the site often.  YEARS ago - and several blogs ago - I used to post about random endangered species.  I sort of miss doing that so I might start posting about them on occasion.  I love learning about them and their habits and history and really hope that we can bring them back from the brink.

According to the WWF Website -

On March 3, the government of Nepal, WWF and other partners celebrated 365 days without a single case of rhino, elephant or tiger poaching ending February 2014. This is the second time that the country marked such a milestone after 2011.

Their efforts are focused on Elephants, Tigers, and Rhinos.

I signed a pledge online to support their anti-poaching and anti-traffic campaign.  There are TONS of other animals and endangered species to check up and check in on - on this page!

I may not always be able to donate with money but the least I can do is educate myself and others, eh!?
