World Lemur Day is celebrated on October 31st, highlighting the importance of lemurs and their conservation. This event originated in Madagascar, where the first World Lemur Festival was held to raise awareness about the value of lemurs as part of the country's heritage. The day aims to educate the public about lemurs, many of which are critically endangered or threatened, and to promote their conservation. Celebrations include visiting Madagascar, participating in the World Lemur Festival, and engaging in activities such as learning fun facts about lemurs. The event has gained global recognition, with participation from organizations, individuals, and zoos around the world. Each year, a new logo representing the event is created by talented artists.
