Endangered TV and Imagine Animals


The remaining two websites to be introduced which are part of the Endangered Earth project are Endangered TV and Imagine Animals. Both have been part of the project for many years.

IMAGINE ANIMALS:

Imagine Animals came about from the simple thought "can you Imagine a world without these animals in it".

I couldn't...I can't.

However the reality is, all the animals on the Imagine Animals website are in danger  of becoming extinct.

I also thought offering 'free' images of the endangered animals (for those in school or working on a not-for-profit project) might be of some help in spreading the word (or at least the face) of these endangered species.

That idea seems to have worked quite well, as the image pages on the Imagine Animal website have been requested tens of thousands of times over the years.

ENDANGERED TV:

Endangered TV was an early attempt (before YouTube) to use video to promote the plight of endangered animals.

And though the videos on Endangered TV have been viewed many times (tens of thousands of times) the project has not (in my opinion) hit its' stride.

But one of the goals for this year (as it is with The Tiger Channel) is to find the right format for using video to promote the plight of endangered animals.

And as with The Tiger Channel, I have no idea how this will unfold. But it will start 'unfolding' in October.

And this pretty much completes the 'introductions' for the Endangered Earth related websites.

To re-cap they are:

Bagheera
Endangered Earth
Endangered Earth News
Endangered Earth Journal
Endangered TV
Imagine Animals

And with the introductions complete, next week will start the exploration and information gathering for the work I will be doing on these websites over the next year.

And all the exploration and the gathering will be reflected here...in the Endangered Earth Journal.
