Thanks to you, our generous supporters, we’ve raised $12,893 of our $15,000 June matching goal. We’re in awe and so grateful that you believe in our mission.

There’s one day left to raise that last $2,107. The final push! Once we hit $15,000 our friends at Mobius are matching it, doubling the impact of your generosity. That $30,000 total will go towards our upcoming investigations and helping to keep our stock platform a streamlined resource free for anyone looking to inspire change.

Imagine persuading a farmer to switch from farming animals to raising crops. Growing chickpeas and turning their farm into a sanctuary, where the animals who were used for food or destined for slaughter now live peacefully, getting occasional neck rubs. Imagine how many lives that would improve, and the emissions it would reduce. 
 
Sarah Heiligtag has done it 70 times. Our contributors Thomas Machowicz and Sabina Diethelm have been in Switzerland documenting her efforts. In August we tell the full story.

Our friends and colleagues Keith Wilson and Britta Jaschinski (co-founders of Photographers Against Wildlife Crime and co-conspirators to our book HIDDEN) have announced their latest book project, THE EVIDENCE PROJECT. With images from leading international photographers, this book aims to reveal the connection between our relentless consumption of the natural world and our exposure to new viruses. Their Kickstarter campaign is the perfect way to preorder and help ensure this important book makes it to press.
