You shouldn't need to join facebook but can just click on the links in the widget to access the articles. If you have any problems or comments please mail me at arandjel 'AT' eva.mpg.de.

ARKive: Promoting the Conservation of the World's Threatened Species, Through the Power of Wildlife Imagery



"Films and photographs are an emotive, powerful and effective means of building environmental awareness - they can bring a scientific name to life, show what a species looks like and why it is special. As such, they are a valuable educational resource and conservation tool. Continued habitat destruction and the rise in extinction rates also mean that for many species, films, photographs and audio recordings may soon be all that remains. They are, therefore, important historical and scientific records of the species they depict."


For more info go to the ARKive website or join their facebook page.

Thanks to Cleve H for the link!
