We’ve gotta save the Red Wolf!

SAVING THE RED WOLF: LG’s Dramatic Times Square Endangered Species 3D Display
I’ve written so much about saving our Wilderness and its endangered Wildlife.
There’s those constant sad stories. And those great reports about saving those threatened animals. The small creatures. The Tiger-sized ones. The Giants of the Earth.
LG Electronics is bringing attention to the plight of the endangered Red Wolf through a dynamic display. It’s on its iconic Times Square billboard in New York City. It’s all part of the company’s ongoing endangered species series. The red wolf, one of the world’s most at-risk wolves, has been chosen to underscore the urgent need for biodiversity. As well as efforts to combat global warming.
The 3D anamorphic experience illustrates the stark reality of the Red Wolf and forest ecosystem destruction.

The red wolves are classified as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). With estimates suggesting that only around 20 remain in the wild in North Carolina.
Since the series’ inception in April, more than 50 million Times Square visitors have been educated on the importance of conservation and protection of unique wildlife.
Other featured species in 2024 have included the snow leopard, the bald eagle and, most recently, the sea lion. The program will return in 2025. It will feature additional endangered species. One of which will be selected by a public vote to be announced early next year.
Like this red wolf display, each featured animal is brought to life in stunning 3D!
Each one will appear to extend out of the actual display overlooking Times Square. In partnership with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and Discovery Education, LG is also producing and distributing free educational materials on endangered animals online.
Red Wolf & Elevating Conservation Awareness Through Education
To elevate conservation awareness among the younger generation, LG has partnered with global edtech leader Discovery Education. And the NWF to host an educational series for K-12 students.
In conjunction with the Times Square billboard, the LG Endangered Species Series aims to deepen students’ understanding of endangered animals. And their unique qualities and the crucial roles they play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
As mentioned here, the red wolf is one of many.
This program fosters an appreciation for each species’ uniqueness. As well as providing free, standards-aligned digital resources accessible to educators and students at https://endangered-species-series.discoveryeducation.com/.
For additional details and opportunities to contribute to NWF’s EcoSchools U.S. and EcoLeaders programs, visit www.nwf.org. LG has committed a total of $150,000 to support these two organizations.
“When we save wildlife, we save ourselves,” said an LG spokesman.
“LG is showing the world what’s possible when people come together with the National Wildlife Federation. While we create pollinator gardens, support native species, and confront the immense and interconnected challenges that people and wildlife face,” said Collin O’Mara. Colin is the NWF president and CEO.
“These efforts are already making a real difference in inspiring future generations of conservationists. And addressing both the extinction crisis and the changing climate.”
Thus giving us another Good News Story in 2024.
