National Endangered Species Day is a day in the United States that is observed on the third Friday in May each year. The day falls this year, 19th may, 2023.  It is a day to raise awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats, and to recognize the efforts of individuals and organizations who work to conserve them.

The day was first established by the United States Congress in 2006 to encourage people to learn about the issues facing endangered species and take action to protect them. Endangered species are animals or plants that are at risk of extinction due to various factors such as habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.

On National Endangered Species Day, people are encouraged to participate in educational activities, volunteer at conservation events, and support conservation efforts through donations or advocacy. The day is an opportunity to learn more about the many endangered species in the United States and around the world, and to take steps to protect them for future generations.

The aim of National Endangered Species Day is to raise public awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats. The day is intended to encourage people to take action to help save endangered species and to educate the public about the various ways in which they can contribute to conservation efforts. National Endangered Species Day also recognizes the hard work and achievements of conservationists, scientists, and organizations working to protect endangered species around the world.
