Celebrity Efforts

Some celebrities have taken up charities to raise money and awareness for issues such as women's rights and poverty. But who's out there helping wildlife? Well, I did a little research to find out for myself.

"We currently manage about 500 conservation projects in more than 60 countries; and educate millions of visitors at our five living institutions in New York City on important issues affecting our planet.
