The free downloads help bring people to the Center for Biological Diversity’s website where they can learn about a variety of endangered species and the Center’s efforts to help them.
Endangered Species Ringtones For Free Downloading
At last count, the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) and Killer whale or Orca (Orcinus orca) are top of the charts at the moment but with eighty species to choose from and more soon to come, there are plenty of options.
For some it might be the call of the common loon (Gavia immer) or the bugling of elk (Cervus canadensis). Neither of these species are are listed as endangered but their calls are unique and proving popular.
To go along with the ringtones, the Center for Biological Diversity also offers photos which can be used as wallpaper on the phone or a computer. The downloaded photos come with a fact sheet about the chosen species.
Using Endangered Species Ringtones to Teach People About Animals
Behind the fun of having the calls of endangered animals on the phone, the Center’s message is clear. The more people are informed about what is happening to wildlife around the world, the more they will help to change things.
In downloading the ringtones, in addition to the species fact sheets, people are automatically subscribed to the Center for Biological Diversity’s Activist Network. They receive regular newsletter updates. There are also calls to action including signing petitions and writing to relevant authorities such as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act.
About The Center for Biological Diversity
Three men (Kieran Suckling, Peter Galvin and Todd Schulke) who met surveying for owls in New Mexico form the core of the Center for Biological Diversity. When their survey found a spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) in one of the trees they informed the US Forest Service but soon learned that the tree was scheduled to be removed despite the presence of the threatened bird.
They took their story to the press and began their activist careers. Today the Center concentrates on lawsuits and political advocacy to protect endangered wildlife and the critical habitat necessary for them to survive. They back their efforts with sound science and have been successful in helping to secure endangered species status for a number of animals.
To download the free ringtones and wallpaper go to the RareEarthtones website which is managed by the Center for Biological Diversity.
