When does it take place?

World Binturong Day takes place every year on the 2nd Saturday in May.

It takes place every year on the second Saturday in May. This year it will take place on Saturday, May 10, 2025 - and it's already the 11th edition! Last year, no fewer than 50 establishments from all over the world celebrated this day with us. In France, every year, ABConservation is present at La Menagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris to organize this special event. In the Philippines, the association organizes activities in schools, universities and local communities throughout the month of May.
