The Uproar Conservation Challenge
presented by T-Fiber
Nearly 50,000 species worldwide face the threat of extinction. Some you know. But allow us to introduce you to many you don’t. The barbie pagoda. The Javan green magpie. The vaquita porpoise. The Cabo Verdean dragon tree. These and the other species in this year’s Uproar Conservation Challenge, presented by T-Fiber, face threats to their survival.
All conservation groups in this year’s challenge will share $55,000 in prize money to support their important work, with one earning the $10,000 grand prize! Vote and share to help these species come roaring back!
