Key Deer Awareness Day
Key Deer Awareness Day is observed each year on March 11 to help raise awareness about the endangered key deer. These tiny relatives to the Virginia white-tailed deer are only found in the Florida Keys, which is what influenced their name. The species has been under significant threat due to poaching, habitat loss, vehicular accidents, illnesses, and climate change, spurring the creation of a day especially to raise awareness about this cause among the public. As for the date, it was specially selected to commemorate the date key deer was given ‘endangered’ status on the Federal Register in 1967.
