International Red Panda Day 2025 will be observed on September 20, which falls on the third Saturday of September. This global observance was launched in 2010 by the Red Panda Network to highlight the urgent need for conservation of the endangered red panda, often referred to as the “Firefox.” With fewer than 10,000 individuals left in the wild, the red panda faces threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and low reproduction rates. Celebrating the day on September 20 draws international attention, generates support for conservation projects, and strengthens community-led initiatives to protect this rare and captivating Himalayan species.
