Our YAQU PACHA information stand (Jolana and Mike Meister, Andreas Banse & Sandra Isenberg) provides information about our projects, distributes coloring sheets and timetables, 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 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 Duisburg Zoo on Saturday.
This day for all aquatic life continues the themes of World Water Day on March 22 and World Oceans Day on June 8—but celebrates all living creatures in the Earth's diverse waters.
