World Animal Day falls on the 4th of October each year, and is a global celebration dedicated to improving animal welfare. This year’s theme is ‘The World is Their Home Too.’ This date coincides with the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, which makes it the perfect occasion to reflect on how we can better protect all creatures great and small.
What is World Animal Day?
This day was established to raise global awareness and improve the status of animals through events in schools, organisations, and communities with the mission to enhance animal well-being worldwide. This encourages everyone to take steps, big or small, towards a future where all creatures can thrive.
Kingfisher’s Role in Animal Welfare
Kingfisher Lighting believes in creating responsible products and services that have minimal environmental impact, while contributing to animal welfare. Our range of eco-friendly luminaires supports this by making environments safer for wildlife without sacrificing human needs.

Designed for localised environments such as nature reserves and natural habitats, these lights minimize disruption to wildlife. With three colours – red, amber and green, this system is best utilised to target areas with huge environmental concerns preserving nocturnal behaviours and reducing harm to delicate ecosystems.
