Endangered Species Day: Red-cockaded woodpecker

May 03, 2023

May 3rd is National Endangered Species Day and we are recognizing the importance of wildlife conservation and restoration efforts for imperiled species like the federally endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, a landmark piece of legislation that institutionalized our national commitment to the conservation of wildlife and their habitat.

Join in the celebration by learning more about Red-cockaded woodpeckers here or download this fun Endangered Species coloring book created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
