National Conservation Dog Day is observed on January 19th to honor working dogs trained in scent detection for wildlife conservation. These dogs play a crucial role in locating endangered species, rare plants, and invasive species without harming the environment. The day encourages activities such as hosting scent games, watching demonstrations by conservation teams, and spreading awareness about the impact of these dogs on social media. It also promotes supporting conservation dog programs through donations or volunteering. Established by the Conservation Dogs Collective, the day highlights the significant contributions of these dogs in ecological research and wildlife protection efforts across various terrains.
