Blogging for a cause – Center for Biological Diversity

Spreading good will is always hard for companies so I’m super excited at the latest move by my employer, Blogging For A Cause, is a campaign to get bloggers talking about their favorite charities/non-profits so they can win a share of $6000 USD that we’ll be giving away to the five that get most blogged about.

In the next few weeks, I’ll be adding my own votes (by blogging) for charities that I find around the web and resonate with my good side.

Today I’m starting with Center for Biological Diversity, that Rebecca initially discovered and blogged about:

So I start with an amazing organization out in Arizona. I became familiar with their mission and work first hand during my work at ROI Solutions. The organization I’d like to brag about is the Center for Biological Diversity. Boy, based on the last 8 presidential years we should all be advocating for more biological diversity (*IMO*). The Center for Biological Diversity, or CBD as they are called, has been on the forefront of saving endangered species for years. Please consider this: most of those species are dying because of global climate changes, new housing or corporate developments, and simples things like off road driving; circumstances for which we are all responsible.

Some of their more familiar recent campaigns include Saving the Polar Bears, Cleaning up the Bush Legacy, and the Call of the Wild (you may recall those popular animal ring tones from a few years ago, that was them)…but beyond the general popularity of their campaigns, their campaigns are extremely well run and organized and managed by even more efficient people. Their staff are among the most dedicated and enthusiastic animal nerds that I have ever met, and that is so cool.

Keeping the biological diversity is important as I certainly don’t want to keep hearing about cloning everything back in next 30 years as we destroy our environment.

This blog post is part of Zemanta’s “Blogging For a Cause” campaign to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes that bloggers care about.
