Remembrance Day for Lost Species 2016

November 30th is the annual Remembrance Day for lost Species. A time to take a moment and reflect on all the species we've lost from the planet. As noted on the website:

"REMEMBRANCE DAY FOR LOST SPECIES – NOVEMBER 30TH EVERY YEAR – IS A CHANCE TO LEARN AND TELL THE STORIES OF LOST AND DISAPPEARING SPECIES, AND TO RENEW COMMITMENTS TO THOSE REMAINING. ANYONE CAN PARTICIPATE WITH ANY KIND OF SPECIES MEMORIAL EVENT OR ACTIVITY."
This year is also the 80 year anniversary of the loss of Benjamin, the last known Thylacine's passing.

2016  has brought a lot of hope that proof of the continued existence of the Thylacine will be found. Interesting footage continues to surface from Australia and numerous groups are actively working on finding evidence.
