Spread your valuable message with wristbands on Endangered Species Day. It’s estimated that dozens of species, including plant and animal life, go extinct every day without us even knowing it. 99% of currently threatened species are at risk from human activities, primarily those driving habitat loss, introduction of exotic species, and global warming. Endangered Species wristbands can encourage people to protect endangered life on the planet.

Facts About Endangered Species

Why should we care about endangered species? Take a look at these facts:

• A species is declared extinct after many years of not being spotted. Because it takes so long to define an entire species as extinct, it is probable that there are many species already gone that we are unaware of.
• Extinction is a natural phenomenon, it occurs at a natural “background” rate of about one to five species per year. Scientists estimate we’re now losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the “background” rate, with dozens going extinct every day.
• As many as 30 to 50 percent of all species are possibly heading toward extinction by mid-century.
• The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) protects registered endangered species by removing them from the “take” list, which makes it unlawful for a person to shoot, harm, capture, trap, or attempt any such actions to the species.
• Ultimately, the ESA strives to recover species from the endangered list by restoring their ecological health until they no longer need protection.
• The World Wildlife Organization focuses on saving certain species that help sustain other species. They protect wildlife such as pandas, whales, rhinos, marine turtles, primates, polar bears, and big cats.
• Freshwater ecosystems are home to more than 100,000 known species of plants and animals, and are now one of the most endangered habitats in the world as a result of human development, pollution, and climate change.
