Endangered Species Day
This Florida House resolution designates May 15, 2026, as "Endangered Species Day" to recognize annual global conservation efforts. It commemorates the third Friday in May when communities, schools, and organizations in Florida hold educational events about protecting threatened species like the Florida panther and sea turtles. The resolution does not create new laws, allocate funding, or impose obligations - its sole purpose is symbolic recognition of conservation work.
