Hey Kids! World Wildlife Day is the 3rd of March
World Wildlife Day is a day to celebrate and raise awareness about wild plants and animals.
3 things you can do to celebrate:
- Learn about a new animal or plant.
- Tell others what you learn. This is one way to raise awareness.
- Go outside and enjoy nature! Ask a parent, brother, sister or friend to join you. What plants and animals can you spot from your balcony, in your backyard or at your local park?
Tip: You can use the Seek app to help you identify organisms! Ask a parent or caregiver to help you try it out. Seek is a kid-safe app by the creators of iNaturalist.
