On May 19, millions of Americans will be celebrating Endangered Species Day! Endangered Species Day is a day set aside to learn about and work towards the protection of all the plant and animal species in our nation that are at risk. This year, we’re celebrating with our friends at Rocky Mountain Wild as they host Colorado Endangered Species Week, May 14-20!
During Colorado Endangered Species Week, there are activities to help us learn about and advocate for our Colorado imperiled, threatened and endangered species. And we’d like you to invite you to participate!
[Feel free to include the details of a specific event, or use the general description if you want to advertise the whole week of events.]General:
This week will include activities to celebrate, learn about, and protect species like wolves, boreal toads, and Colorado bats. There are activities for all age groups and ability levels.

Colorado Endangered Species Week includes The Most Awesome Environmental Online Auction in the Front Range, with auction items that are either donated by a business with a green coalition membership or items that are environmental in nature. The online auction will open at noon MT on May 12 and close at noon MT on May 20.

Join us on May 14 as we celebrate the efficacy of the Endangered Species Act! The Act turns 50 this year and remains a long-lasting example of the commitment, cooperation, and conservation triumphs we can make when we work together! Learn more about the Act, what’s happening politically to the Act, and how you can help protect it.
[Link to the Celebrate the efficacy of the Endangered Species Act webpage or a page you set up on your site.]Monday:
Join us on May 15 as we Get Passionate About Plants! Colorado ranks 13th for plant diversity and 8th for the most plant species at risk. There are 117 plant species in Colorado considered to be globally imperiled and vulnerable to extinction. Of those, 68 species are found only in Colorado, which means it’s our duty to make sure they remain protected. Learn more about Colorado plants and how you can protect them. And be sure to join the lunch-and-learn on Urban Biodiversity and Habitat Connectivity with Andrea Montoya from Suelo Bueno Consulting!
[Link to the Get Passionate About Plants page, the lunch-and-learn Zoom registration page, or a page you set up on your site.]Tuesday:
Join us for Get Batty About Colorado Bats on Tuesday, May 16! Bats face numerous threats in Colorado, such as habitat loss and climate change. In addition, hibernating bats in Colorado may be impacted by white-nose syndrome (WNS), a pathogen that has killed millions of bats in the eastern and midwestern U.S. since 2006. WNS was just detected in a Colorado bat on April 24 of this year. Learn more about Colorado bats and how you can help us learn more about them. And be sure to join the evening bat conservation event in Wheat Ridge with Aaron Sidder from Bat Conservation International!

Join us for Get Hopping for Boreal Toad on Thursday, May 18! One third of the world’s amphibians are considered threatened, and almost half of all species are declining. The causes for recent amphibian declines are many, but an emerging disease called chytrid fungus and global climate change are thought the be the biggest threats to amphibians. Here in southern Rocky Mountain region boreal toads, once a common member of our alpine ecosystems, are estimated to occupy just 1% of their historical breeding areas. Join us to learn more about the current status of boreal toads and how you can help. And be sure to join the evening presentation with experts from Denver Zoo to find out how you can join the community science project to protect boreal toads!

Join us for Get Howling for Wolves on Friday, May 19! Wolves once roamed the snow-capped peaks and rim rock canyons of the West, but their howl has been missing from Western Colorado for 75 years. On November 3, 2020, Coloradans voted yes to Colorado Proposition 114, the Gray Wolf Reintroduction Initiative. The measure was designed to require the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission to create and carry out a plan to reintroduce and manage gray wolves (with paws on the ground) by the end of 2023. Join us for a lunch-and-learn with our friends from Defenders of Wildlife to understand what’s happening with the wolf reintroduction effort here in Colorado, how you can help, and how you can protect the Endangered Species Act!
[Link to Get Howling for Wolves webpage or the Lunch and Learn page or a page you set up on your site.]Saturday:
Join us for Envisioning Equity in Environmental Nonprofits on Saturday, May 20! May 20 is Colorado Public Lands Day, which is a perfect day to envision equity in environmental nonprofits! Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) support environmental protection at a higher rate than white people. 36-42% of the U.S. population are BIPOC, but only 16% of environmental nonprofit staff are BIPOC, and only 12% of those individuals are in leadership positions. Join Rocky Mountain Wild and Next 100 Colorado to explore how we can make environmental organizations more equitable, inclusive, and just. And be sure to join our in-person film screening, panel, and affinity group space breakout sessions with Next 100 Colorado!
