Our YAQU PACHA information booth (Jolana and Mike Meister, Andreas Banse, and Sandra Isenberg) provides information about our projects, hands out coloring pages and class schedules, and sells stuffed animals from the Teddy-Hermann YAQU PACHA Edition to benefit the projects.
The occasion is International Aquatic Animal Day, which is being celebrated today at the Duisburg Zoo.“World Aquatic Animal Day” was launched in 2020 by staff at the Animal Law Clinic at Lewis & Clark Law School (Portland, Oregon, USA), who wanted to draw attention to the importance of aquatic animals for our society and our ecosystems. The day is actually on April 3, but it will be celebrated at the Duisburg Zoo on Saturday.
This day, dedicated to all aquatic life, builds on the themes of World Water Day on March 22 and World Oceans Day on June 8—but truly celebrates all living creatures in the Earth’s diverse bodies of water.
