"Today isn't the jolliest holiday; it can be a downer to think about all the plants and creatures caught in the crossfire of destructive human activities, not to mention the species that have already fallen. In a way, Endangered Species Day is like another holiday coming up soon -- Memorial Day. But there are two key differences: Although many species are gone forever, there are lots more that can still recover with our help. And that leads us straight to the other key difference: Instead of giving us a day off from work, Endangered Species Day calls for us to work harder than ever to get active and share knowledge about species on the brink.
To help you get that good work done (and have some fun while you're at it), we've made a batch of Endangered Species Day e-postcards for you to send out to your friends, relatives -- heck, your whole address book (depending on how popular you are). Check 'em out."
