A day to highlight the plight of sharks worldwide, of which many species are endangered.
There are lots of things you can do to help sharks. Here are some of our top tips:
- Never eat shark meat or shark fin soup
- Only eat shark-friendly sustainable fish from trusted sources (millions of sharks are killed as a byproduct of commercial fishing)
- Avoid imitation crab, lobster and shrimp, as they are often made from shark meat
- When purchasing beauty products, look out for the ingredient squalene. Squalene is shark liver oil and a common ingredient in things like makeup and soap
- If you take chondroitin supplements, make sure they do not source the chondroitin from shark cartilage.
- Do not buy products made with shagreen. Shagreen is shark skin leather and is used to make shoes, handbags, belts, and clothing.
- Only buy ethical shark souvenirs if you want to purchase shark teeth or jaws, so just make sure they are fossilized and not new!
10. World Snake Day - 16th July
World Snake Day is an important day when it comes to increasing awareness about the different species of snakes all around the world. Snakes tend to have a negative connotation. A lot of people are scared of snakes and, of course, we can definitely understand the reasons why! No one likes the thought of being gobbled up by a snake, do they? Plus, when someone is two-faced or a bad person, they are often referred to as snakes. However, snakes are great creatures and they are so important to the world we live in.

This proposal was actually a satirical art installation but it reminded people about the effects of global warming.
