World Refugee Day was established by the UN General Assembly in 2000 to honor refugees worldwide — today more than 117 million people are forcibly displaced, the highest number ever recorded. American Eagle Day was established to celebrate the bald eagle, which was removed from the endangered species list in 2007 after its population rebounded from fewer than 500 breeding pairs in the 1960s following the ban on DDT. International Surfing Day was established by the Surfrider Foundation in 2005 to celebrate surf culture and ocean conservation — observed on the third Saturday of June. National Dog Dad Day was created to celebrate the male caretakers who treat their dogs as family members, observed on the Saturday before Father’s Day. A displacement crisis, a rebounding eagle, a breaking wave, and a dog sleeping on the couch.
