myActions.org Cincinnati Zoo Challenge!


myActions.org has just launched the Cincinnati Zoo Challenge campaign.  Running now through August 31st, the campaign funds polar bear research at the Cincinnati Zoo.  Contributors to the campaign are challenged to perform 21 actions in 21 days.

 
Out of curiosity I visited the website for the Cincinnati Zoo and discovered that scientists at this zoo, in collaboration with the those from the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, N.Y., have been able to perform the first ever artificial insemination of a captive polar bear.   Scientists at the zoo began looking into it back in 2008. However, as of March of this year, scientists were able to crack the code, which means a new baby polar bear cub is on its way!





Support the research!  Save the polar bears!  TakeAction!
