Earth Day 2021: Launching People vs. Extinction
We're excited to be part of an innovative new initiative, aimed at stopping extinction in its tracks. This campaign, called “People vs. Extinction”, is designed to drive mass impact and sustained change in order to fight the loss of biological diversity. The unnatural loss of biodiversity is accelerating, and if it continues, the planet will lose vast ecosystems and the necessities they provide, including fresh water, pollination, and pest and disease control.
The People vs. Extinction website has launched today, Earth Day 2021. Right now, they're looking for partners and sponsors to invest in the future of our planet.
Later this year, PVE will launch a social media campaign unlike any other, centered around positive messaging. Using technology, we're creating an animal army to advocate for nature.
Their team represents the best of the best in science, creative media, and social impact. With their start-up mentality, PVE is taking a different approach to conservation.
If you'd like to be involved, please visit the PVE website and contact Derek Gannon: derek@peoplevextinction.com.
Global Conservation Executive Director Jeff Morgan is on PVE's Advisory Board.
