DescClimate Change:WildAid produced and released three PSA campaigns to mitigate climate change by reducing emissions-intensive personal behavior. The campaigns included "Hairy Nose" in the spring and "Reveal Your City" featuring three celebrity ambassadors in the fall to promote low-carbon transportation options. In November, WildAid released a PSA campaign called "The Precipice" to raise awareness for the link between climate change and meat consumption/production. Together, WildAid's climate campaigns earned over $60 million in pro bono media placement in 2016.Desc

Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationAll donations and grants made to third parties, such as the Galapagos National Park Service or a Fishing Cooperative, are supported by a contract between the institution and WildAid. The contract clearly states the donor source and all funds disbursed or equipment donated is to be employed solely according to the objectives stipulated in the contract. With respect to grants, the contract stipulates that separate accounting must be carried out, including the creation of a file of deposits, receipts, contracts, etc. to support all expenses incurred. All receipts and invoices must be legal and clearly indicate the beneficiary, concept of payment, and date. In addition, the institution agrees that their checking account and accounting is subject to an external audit or other measure of control defined by WildAid. Normally, the WildAid accountant reviews all expenses incurred by the partner institution and a WildAid staff visits their offices to physically review documents and products resulting from the grant. With respect to equipment donations, periodic visits are made to the project site to verify the condition of the equipment donated. In the event a contract is not honored by the partner institution, WildAid reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the contract and demand the immediate return of all funds and equipment provided under the contract.ExplanationTxt
