Lost Species Day
November 28
Remembrance Day for Lost Species, also known as Lost Species Day, is observed annually on November 30. It was created in 2011 to explore the stories of species that have been driven to extinction due to human activity, and to highlight the importance of conservation efforts. Lost Species Day is an opportunity to make or renew commitments to all who remain… and to collaborate on creative and practical solutions. Join us at the museum as we learn about lost species with a collection encounter and explore the importance of keystone species in the Discovery Zoo. Visitors may also purchase a ticket to a Meet the Animals program where you can meet some animal ambassadors and learn about the importance of conservation.
