This year's P-22 Day Festival, which kicks off at 11:00 a.m. on October 24, features "P-22's Wildlife Wonderland," a one-of-a-kind conservation awareness and education platform created by the National Wildlife Federation that invites people of all ages and from all over the world to celebrate wildlife and the importance of caring for our natural world. Registration for this unique and engaging platform is now open and can be accessed for free at www.urbanwildlifeweek.org. The event poster and wildlife-themed animations are available for digital, print and broadcast media here.
Last year, over 8,000 people attended the P-22 Day Festival in Griffith Park. This year, The National Wildlife Federation's #SaveLACougars campaign engaged with a team of world-class developers to create a custom virtual experience so that people can safely attend from home and from anywhere in the world. The dynamically-designed festival interface allows participants to create their own wildlife avatar and use it to help P-22 journey safely across the 101 freeway and beyond. Along the way, players will have the opportunity to earn "puma points" and win special prizes by browsing exhibits, playing games, and answering trivia questions.
