Rewriting Extinction is a collaborative charity project comprising of over 300 people from across the planet coming together to try and reverse species extinction by harnessing the power of storytelling.
The project was founded by writer/producer Paul Goodenough and small team of friends, loved ones and volunteers. After seeing one species after another go extinct, we decided that enough was enough, and sought to unite the environmental, activism and storytelling community to save as many species from extinction as possible, once and for all.
This project would not be possible without the love, commitment and passion of so many people and charities. Everyone involved in this project has stepped outside their comfort zone and worked with people they don’t know to make this happen.
We’d like to take a moment to thank them, and you, for helping us by #RewritingExtinction.
