On 19 August 2003, a bomb attack on the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, Iraq, killed 22 humanitarian aid workers, including the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. Five years later, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 19 August as World Humanitarian Day (WHD).

Each year, WHD focuses on a theme, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises, and for the safety and security of aid workers

It´s also International Orangutan Day today. August 19 is marked to save species that are on the edge of extinction. The goal is to raise awareness about the predicament of this species, which has progressed from endangered to critically endangered. Orangutans have been around for generations and are thought to be the ancestors of gorillas. They are large apes who spend the majority of their time in trees and are only found in the jungles of Borneo and Sumatra, and the two species that live there were formerly thought to be the same., we show our support for orangutans. This day is meant to inspire people to take action to safeguard this amazing animal in the wild. It’s no surprise that orangutans are intellectual because they share 97 % of their D.N.A. with humans. This could explain why the term ‘orangutan’ means ‘forest person’ in English.

Petition 1: Palm oil plantation farmers are clear-cutting the orangutan's natural habitat. Take action before we lose this species forever!

Petition 2: Palm oil is endangering orangutans and a few other animals. It is grown across Asia, West Africa and Latin America. Orangutans are also becoming extinct by illegal hunting and trading.

It´s also National Honey Bee Day in the United States. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the honey bee industry through education and promotion.

Petitions to help honey bees here:

It's long been known that Earth's honey bee population is decreasing at an alarming rate. The fact is, much of our natural ecosystem depends on the processes involved with bee pollination, and if this pollination cannot happen, many of our crops, from broccoli to strawberries, will be in grave peril.
In fact, honey bee deaths are reaching a critical point, whereby it may not be possible to reverse the damage. Much of the population decline can be attributed to reversible human actions, including the use of neonicotinoids, insecticides chemically related to nicotine that cause honeybees, bumblebees, and beneficial ladybugs to literally drop dead.
