Wow, I think this is pretty awesome, and unexpected, but I feel like this might have some conservation awareness potential. Blue iguanas getting their own international holiday, what a great suprise.
"The endangered blue iguanas now have their own annual international day, even though they exist in the wild only in the Cayman Islands. The bid to put this iconic reptile on the world stage follows international efforts over the years that have contributed toward bringing this species back from the brink of extinction. The 8th May is now the official world day for the blues and the first one, International Blue Iguana Day 2021, was celebrated at their home at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park. Operations Manager Luke Harding, who spearheaded the initiative, said the project reach is truly global."
