Covid-19 affects not only people, but also endangered animals. Due to the virus, tourism dollars have sharply declined causing a dramatic spike in poaching rates. By the time the virus has lifted, these animals may not have survived
THE PROBLEM
THE SOLUTION
E-RACE EXTINCTION: A global event initiated by SPN! and our partners to raise awareness and thousands of dollars benefiting ground efforts to protect wildlife and increase ‘conservation education.’ We strive to stop the poaching crisis and create long-term sustainability solutions for the locals, thus safeguarding jobs for the African and Southeast Asian tourism industries (estimated $339 billion combined*).
