National
Invasive Species
Awareness Week
This week is dedicated to bringing attention to invasive species and learning how we can help prevent their spread. Invasive Species are plants, animals, or other organisms that are introduced to a given area outside their original range and cause harm in their new home. The cost to control invasive species is estimated at $137 billion annually.
February 24th - 28th
World
Wildlife Day
People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs - from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. For us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature brings us and our planet, people have been working together to make sure ecosystems are able to thrive and plant and animal species are able to exist for future generations.
So, let’s celebrate wildlife and the important conservation work being done around the world!
