World Otter Day had humble beginnings as Otterly Mad Week, a week of events, education, and fun. The International Otter Awareness Day was founded before becoming International Otter Survival Day, World Otter Day we now know whose singular purpose is to ensure that future generations can enjoy these charming animals.
International Otter Survival Fund began in 1993 to protect and help the different species of otters worldwide. It was inspired by observing otters in their natural habitats. The Fund is one of the world’s leading charities with various projects that protect otters. They have dedicated over 20 years of research to conserving, protecting, and caring for otters. They have developed a worldwide program to encourage education on otters. They have supported projects in 44 countries and helped cubs in 33 countries.
Since 2009, they held workshops across the world in places such as Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and China. The workshops provide training in otter field techniques, public awareness programs, law enforcement, and general conservation issues. Some other activities include research, campaigns, training, and otter hospitals.
