Our YAQU PACHA information stand (Jolana and Mike Meister, Andreas Banse & Sandra Isenberg) will provide information about our projects, hand out coloring sheets and timetables and sell stuffed animals from the Teddy-Hermann YAQU PACHA Edition for the benefit of the projects.
The occasion is International Aquatic Animal Day, which is being celebrated today at Duisburg Zoo. The "World Aquatic Animal Day" was launched in 2020 by employees of the Animal Law Clinic of 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 is celebrated at Duisburg Zoo on Saturday.
This day for all aquatic creatures continues the theme of World Water Day on March 22 and World Oceans Day on June 8 - but really celebrates all living creatures in the world's various bodies of water.
