National Wildlife Day serves to bring awareness to the number of endangered animals nationally as well as globally, that need to be preserved and rescued from their demise each year, but also to acknowledge U.S. zoos and outstanding animal sanctuaries for everything they do to help preserve this planet's animals and educate the public about conservation - especially to children....our animal's future caretakers and conservationists. National Wildlife Day will also
encourage citizens to stand up and fight for animals that need a voice,
visit their local zoo more often - and especially on National Wildlife Day
and donate what they can to worthy organizations that make a difference in
the lives of our beloved animal friends. The animals thank you!! |
Official 2010 Poster
| Inspired by
the otters at The Monterey Bay Aquarium, National Wildlife Day founder
Colleen Paige, created this watercolor tribute to our oceans at a time
when their survival has never more at risk. "The otters at The Monterey Bay Aquarium, where I had a home right down the road, have literally entertained and enchanted me for hours as they played with their toys, says Paige. The Aquarium has a wonderful program that teaches so much valuable information about the lives of these curious and adorable ocean puppies. They do a fabulous job at educating children about our oceans and bringing awareness to the plight of its inhabitants and ecology. I am completely heartbroken at what has transpired in the Gulf, thus I wanted to create a piece that speaks in memory of all those precious ocean babies we've lost thus far and will continue to lose for months, if not years to come". Besides the fine art poster, this image will also be available as a fine art canvas with archival ink in various sizes, as well as greeting cards, mouse pads and other accessories on August 15th.
