HELP SAVE SHARKS IN CANADA
The UC community helped make history in Toronto by passing a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin in Canada's largest city! Councillors voted 38-4 in favor of the ban and spoke passionately about the need to take shark conservation efforts to the federal level.
AND THAT IS JUST WHAT WE WILL DO!
We are working with Members of Parliament to help raise awareness, and once the bill is introduced we will be launching Fin Free Canada - with a federal petition to support the ban as well as tools and resources to take action in your own community!

Join UC today! Help save the ecosystems we depend on
United Conservationists (UC) is a revolutionary new NGO nine years and 30 countries in the making. What
started out as a mission to save sharks hurdled our tiny team into the biggest
battle ever fought saving humanity from the converging environmental crises
of the 21st century.
In 2007 we released Sharkwater, which
changed government policy, spawned conservation groups, and united a movement
to protect sharks. For nine years weve been saving sharks with the help of supporters
and volunteers, working out of a garage in downtown Toronto. But now the
problem is much bigger than sharks and we need the resources to affect change
on a greater scale.
By mid-century
scientists predict the end of fisheries, coral reefs and rainforests, and half
the worlds population will lack sufficient food and water. This is the biggest
issue weve ever faced, and we need your help to tackle it.
To change the world
in the most profound way possible, weve united a dream team of
conservationists to launch the most revolutionary and powerful NGO imaginable.
UC has a proven strategy educate the public about the issues and give them
the blueprint for change. Its worked for sharks and it can
work again, if we work together.
UC is seeking funding
to build the movement to save the ecosystems we depend on for survival, and
ultimately humanity. This issue is too big to tackle from a garage. We need
your help.
In 2011, United Conservationists
are:
-
Working
with Ecovision Asia to distribute 10,000 Sharkwater DVDs to schools in China
-
Releasing Sharkwater on public TV in China (targeting
220 million people)
-
Spearheading
the Fin Free Toronto campaign to ban shark fins in Toronto, Ontario and across
Canada
-
Releasing "Revolution", Rob Stewarts new
feature film about saving humanity from our environmental crisis. The release
features accompanying study guides, the book How-to Guide to Save Humanity,
free online distribution of the film, and school curriculum inserts.
-
Releasing
Revolution Mobile a mobile application that puts democracy in your hand, counting
down the votes necessary to influence government policy susceptible to public
opinion changing the world in real time.
Your
contributions are vital to taking our organization to the next level, and
creating the resources to unite everyone as a conservationist. We arent just
fundraising, we are building a community! UC has achieved a great amount of
good with very little so far. Now we need to change the world in a huge way, and
we need your financial support to do so. Our kids and our future depend on it.
Join United Conservationists and be a part of a revolutionary movement for conservation.
