  1. Perhaps you've seen it already, but the NorthWest was part of our recent donation:
    JungleDragon triple donation Dear friends of nature,<br />
<br />
JungleDragon donates to wildlife for every 1,000 photos shared and every 1,000 species added. To celebrate 3 milestones (23,000 photos, 24,000 photos and 5,000 species) we have just made a triple donation of 100 USD each to the following organizations:<br />
<br />
Conservation NorthWest:<br />
http://www.conservationnw.org/<br />
<br />
Conservation International:<br />
http://www.conservation.org/Pages/default.aspx<br />
<br />
Sharklab Malta:<br />
http://www.sharklab-malta.org/<br />
<br />
All three donation targets were suggested by the community. I'm very proud of the community for reaching these milestone and for suggesting the donation targets, I hope you are equally proud to be part of a community that truly cares about nature.<br />
