Make your voice heard in a fun way and take part in a new
initiative designed to bring increased attention – and ultimately protection –
to some of the world’s most endangered animals.
The Alliance for Zero Extinction’s (AZE) new 7 Wonders
campaign asks conservation-minded people like you to help select seven sites
from around the globe to highlight the plight of species on the brink. The
winning sites will be featured in a campaign to help conserve endangered
species.
You can vote for your top sites from a list of 20. Each site
is the last refuge on Earth for one or more endangered species. If any of these
sites is lost to development, logging, agriculture, or other threat, the
endangered species it harbors will go extinct. The 7 Wonders campaign
highlights the precarious nature of these places and their species, and the
urgent need to save them.
The 20 candidate sites were selected from among 587 sites
around the world that were identified by scientists working with AZE. Voting
will be open through November, and can be carried out at the campaign website: www.AZE7Wonders.org.
