We reached out to Coca-Cola to encourage them to support polar bear conservation, given their popular advertising campaign featuring that species.

A portion of sales from cans featuring the polar bear characters went to research, supporting more than $2 million in polar bear research. This is a wonderful example of a business supporting wildlife research through the World Wildlife Fund for Nature.
