World Environment Day!

Sunday, June 5th is World Environment Day, the United Nations’ most important day
for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the protection of our environment. 

 Above all, WED serves as the ‘people’s day’ for doing something to take care of 

the Earth or become an agent of change. That ‘something’ can be focused locally,

nationally or globally; it can be a solo action or involve a crowd – everyone is free to 

choose.

Each year there is a theme, and this year's theme is "Go Wild for Life!"  

From the official website:

This year’s theme for WED – Go Wild for Life – encourages you to celebrate all 

those species under threat and take action of your own to help safeguard them 

for future generations. This can be about animals or plants that are threatened 

within your local area as well as at the national or global level - many local 

extinctions will eventually add up to a global extinction! Whoever you are, and 

 wherever you live, show zero-tolerance for the illegal trade in wildlife in word

 and deed, and make a difference.

Remember the threatened and endangered species we learned about at GREFA?

They are having an "Open Doors" day (Día de Puertas Abiertas) tomorrow, Saturday June 5th. If you want, you can go with your family to learn more.
