September 1 Species Requiem Day

9/1/2022

Comments

 
Remembering the extinction of species by humankind; the last Passenger Pigeon died on this day in 1914 in a zoo. It is a psychological necessity to mourn in order to recover from grief. Just as funerals reinforce the awareness of loss, so the lovers of the land and life need to experience ritual and expressions of mourning. The need is vital as part of the grief work necessary to return to our task of protecting the Earth. For background on Species Requiem Day, see:

​But there's more!  Visit Fold the Flock -- the Passenger Pigeon Origami Project.  Read more about these birds and the extinction story, then you can download the kit (for free), watch the instructions, and fold a bird in commemoration of the passenger pigeons, helping to re-create the flocks from over 100 years ago.  Fold the Flock was created by The Lost Bird Project, helping people feel a deeper connection to our planet through art.
