Students are invited to put their creative skills to work for wildlife in the 2015 Saving Endangered Species Youth Art Contest, part of the Endangered Species Day celebration.

The contest provides school children in grades K-12 an opportunity to learn about threatened and endangered wildlife and the importance of protecting them, and encourages kids to express their knowledge and support for conservation efforts through their artistic and creative talents.

Organized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Endangered Species Coalition, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and International Child Art Foundation (ICAF), the contest promotes national awareness of the importance of saving endangered species while recognizing conservation initiatives across the country.

The entry deadline is March 1. Click here for more information or an entry form.
