A groundbreaking website which puts web-users on the front-line of the battle against climate change by allowing them to protect the planet’s tropical forests acre by acre has won this year’s Webby award for activism.
Conservation International’s Protect An Acre site – designed by Atmosphere as the online element of the Lost There, Felt Here campaign, featuring longstanding CI board member Harrison Ford – allows Internet users to take direct action to protect an acre of tropical forest by making a donation of $15 dollars.
With nearly 10,000 entries from all 50 US states and over 60 countries worldwide, the 13th Annual Webby Awards is the biggest yet and continues to be the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet.
CI along with other Webby award winners will be honored at the 13th Annual Webby Gala on June 8 at Cipriani Wall Street, hosted by Seth Meyers, Head Writer of "Saturday Night Live" and host of Weekend Update
