October 4 – World Animal Day

EcoLur

 
World Animal Day is celebrated each year on October the 4th. It started in Florence, Italy in 1931 at a convention of ecologists. On that day many organizations protecting animals expressed their willingness to celebrate it each year and to organize various public events aimed at upbringing a sense of feeling towards animals.
The animals in Armenia are not that protected, as the data published in new Red Book of Armenia show. If the Red Book of Armenia published in 1989 included 99 species of vertebrates, the Red Book of Armenia for 2010 includes 308 animal species – 153 vertebrates and 155 invertebrates for the first time.
