Nature Conservancy Launches Online Holiday Gift StoreUnique holiday gift ideas to preserve the environmentArlington, VA — 27 November 2006 — Today, The Nature Conservancy announced the launch of an online store for the 2006 holiday gift season. The online store is offering a variety of memorable gifts, all of which include the option of sending a free personalized nature image e-card on whatever date you choose. "In 2006 we have seen a significant increase in public awareness of conservation issues. As this trend continues, more and more people are looking for ways to contribute to a more sustainable planet and to healthier communities," said Sue Citro, Senior Digital Membership Manager at the Conservancy. "This season, The Nature Conservancy offers unique holiday gift ideas that do just that, enhancing conservation projects around the world." Items featured in the online store include The Nature Conservancy’s Adopt an Acre® and Rescue the Reef® programs, gift memberships to the Conservancy, and Nature Conservancy merchandise such as jackets, travel totes, sweatshirts, and sport shirts. The Adopt an Acre® and Rescue the Reef® gift programs help protect and restore some of the world’s most threatened forests and coral reefs. The cost to Adopt an Acre is $50, and this year the program is protecting the tropical forests in East Africa’s Rift Valley. A Rescue the Reef gift costs $25 and will help support reef-protection projects around the world. The gift recipient receives a personalized certificate with a beautiful photograph and a full-color fact sheet with information on the program. People who purchase gifts of $50 or more will also receive a colorful magnet for their car and a subscription to the award-winning Nature Conservancy magazine. In addition, they will receive Landmarks, a quarterly publication that includes updates on current conservation projects and accomplishments, and Great Places, a monthly e-newsletter that can be customized to provide information on local areas.
