About the day
World Nature Conservation Day is marked on 28 July each year. It has no single organiser, but environmental groups, schools and media in many countries observe it.
The day encourages people to protect natural resources and ecosystems and to use water, air, minerals and living things in a sustainable way. It is a prompt to turn awareness into practical action.
It suits environmental charities, outdoor and nature tourism, sustainable product brands, energy and utility companies, schools and education providers, and garden and landscaping firms.
