Wildscreen supports WWF’s Earth Hour

Wildscreen is pleased to be supporting conservation charity WWF in the promotion of Earth Hour which aims to get a billion people around the world to switch off their lights for one hour on Saturday, March 28th at 8.30pm, as a powerful message to world leaders that action on climate change is crucial.  To pledge your support visit www.wwf.org.uk/earthhour or text EARTH to 84880 (UK only).

Whilst many of us may feel uncomfortable without the light on this Saturday night, there are, of course, many species around the world that are brilliantly adapted to living in the dark – visit ARKive to see some of our favourites.

The Philippine tarsier – one of many amazing nocturnal species on ARKive.
