On October 4, the whole world celebrates World Animal Day. October 4 was declared as the day of protection of animals in 1931 in Florence, during the international congress organized by the supporters of the nature conservation movement. It aims to draw humanity's attention to the problems of the remaining "inhabitants" of the planet.
October 4 was chosen because that day is known as the commemoration of Francis of Assisi, who is considered the patron saint of animals. According to WWF, three species of animals disappear every hour, and 70 species of flora and fauna disappear on a daily basis, and a quarter of all species of flora and fauna will cease to exist in the near future.
