Salamander Saturday is May 5th!

Foundation for the Conservation of Salamanders (FCSal) is planning for their big outreach day, Salamander Saturday on May 5th and are looking for events on the West Coast!

Salamander Saturday is an initiative started by FCSAL to raise awareness about salamanders, their habitats, and their role in the ecosystem. We encourage organizations around the world to hold an event on this day and to share their events with FCSal through social media using #SalamanderSaturday, thereby promoting global unity in the effort to protect salamanders.

Interested in hosting an event?

You can help by creating a day for international salamander awareness. Your Salamander Saturday event should be catered to your organizations strengths and schedules; it can be as simple as hosting an education table, or as involved as a fundraising event. FCSal will be partnering with American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK), Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC), and Amphibian Survival Alliance to reach a broad audience of amphibian lovers and to make Salamander Saturday a success!

​If you would like to participate in Salamander Saturday, please email FCSAL at info@fcsal.org  and share your plans. Make sure to send the event tile/program name, organization hosting, location/time, and website (if applicable). All Salamander Saturday events will be promoted via FCSal.org and their Facebook page, so please take pictures and have fun spreading the word about salamander conservation! If you would like to host a fundraiser for FCSal, they would be happy to supply you with necessary materials including Chopsticks for Salamanders stainless steel chopsticks.
