For ten years, the non-profit Center for Ecosystem Survival has inspired people to participate in preserving biodiversity. Its programs include the new Insect Discovery Lab for outreach to schoools, the Adopt an Acre and Adopt a Reef projects, and the Conservation Parking Meter. Funds raised go toward protecting millions of acres of critical habitat for endangered plants, animals, and ecosystems in Brazil, Costa Rica, Palau, and other countries.
