Today America celebrates Endangered Species Day, the first-ever national celebration of our country's commitment to protecting our unique wildlife. "The goal of Endangered Species Day", according to the Sierra Club, "is to educate people about the importance of protecting our rare, threatened, and endangered animal and plant species, and to highlight the everyday actions that can be taken to help safeguard them."
"The day is also a day to step back and recognize all the great achievements of the Endangered Species Act," says Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director. "The fish, wildlife and plants that we celebrate today have teetered at the brink of extinction but found the road to recovery thanks to these important protections."
