Thank you to our Poet in Residence, Lis McDermott, for writing “The Animal’s Plea”, a reminder that climate change is something we cannot ignore. We have a choice. To do more. To stand alongside the animals who share our planet. Their plea is clear: Why aren’t humans making the effort to do more? #WorldAnimalDay #WorldPoetryDay #TheAnimalsPlea 1 Like Comment Share World Animal Day Official 642 followers 4mo Edited Report this post 🌍The World Animal Day 2026 theme is here! “See the World Through Their Eyes” Chosen from hundreds of submissions (congratulations to Zoe in the UK! 🎉), this theme invites us to step beyond the human-centred view we often see from and consider how animals experience our changing world. To bring it to life, our illustrator-in-residence Emma Jayne has created a breathtaking design, inspired by the incredible Coral Triangle surrounding Papua New Guinea. It's one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, and the artwork reminds us what’s at stake. This October 4, let’s see differently. Let’s see the world through their eyes. 💙 Read more about this year's theme here: https://lnkd.in/eCyWBM8Y #WorldAnimalDay #WorldAnimalDay2026 #SeeTheWorldThroughTheirEyes 6 Like Comment Share World Animal Day Official 642 followers 4mo Report this post This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re highlighting 5 of our incredible ambassadors from around the word. 💜 1.
