During the Christmas time of giving, people often donate more than usual to their favourite charities. In fact: about double the weekly amount of money is spent by those with comfortable incomes in October compared to December on these charities.
​
However, the charities that will have a larger impact for less money are often left out, this is why The Ugly Animal Preservation Society wants us to switch the types of charities that are more sustainable.
​
The face of the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) is a panda. “Caring for a panda can easily cost over $1 million a year”, said Dave Towne, president of the Giant Panda Conservation Foundation for North America.
For $1 million, you could comfortably save a few species by simply picking a few up and transporting them to another island.
