What it's all about

Connect2earth is your green online community, where you can tell the world why you care about the environment and why it should be protected

You care about the world around you; you marvel at a beautiful clean stream in the mountains; you worry when you read about species disappearing and you get angry when you see reckless abuse of our planet. You know that if we don’t do something now, your children will not enjoy the natural world you enjoyed.

We do too at connect2earth. And we’d like to hear your voice.  Because together we can make a difference. On connect2earth you can say what you think and you can add your voice to existing debates on the environment. You can upload your films, images, or words, you can comment on other people entries, you can vote for what catches your eyes. Most of all, you can learn, connect and share.

From time to time we organize contests that give our community and our concerns more visibility on a worldwide level. The current contest gives you the chance to get featured on the WWF and IUCN websites.  Here is how it works. The past competition brought a member of the community to the World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and gave her the opportunity to speak her mind in front of world leaders. Read about Barcelona.

Connect2earth was started in spring 2008 by 2 of the largest and most influential environmental organizations in the world, WWF and IUCN, with support from Nokia, the largest supplier of mobile telecommunication on the planet. Together we want to connect people like you, people who believe we can make a difference, because together we are a force to foster a more sustainable future.

Be part of something big!

By joining connect2earth you'll quickly find that you're part of a larger - much larger - global community. A community that cares about what is happening to this planet. One that shares your concerns. That you can hook up with, link to, support, champion, vote and talk back to.
