Given that human-made threats-such as habitat fragmentation, overhunting, overfishing, global warming, invasive species and pollution-are the major drivers of modern extinctions and population declines, the preservation and recovery of endangered species depend on human awareness and intervention. Endangered Species Day is observed each year on the third Friday of May as a way to both raise awareness of the continued underline("plight") of endangered species and celebrate those that have recovered becuase of conservation efforts.
