With only five months to go until August 5th 2017, we’re starting the countdown for this year’s World Tomistoma Day.

This year, we’re looking to expand on the success of the first WTD in 2016 that saw many zoos around the world holding dedicated events to raise awareness for this little-known species.

We’ve had great feedback from last year, and most of the zoos have already expressed their intent to celebrate the day again this year.

Keep an eye on this page for more news. If you are interested in taking part, use the contact information to let the organisers know. We’re more than happy to help you publicise your event, and would love to post any images from such events.

So, keep the date free: 5th August 2017!
