Endangered Species Condom Project

As part of this initiative, volunteers sign up to distribute free condoms in 6 different packages featuring endangered species threatened by human overpopulation - and to help educate people across the country about what overpopulation does to species that do not have the privilege of over-reproducing (or even reproducing enough to survive). The Endangered Species Condom Project website features various condom packages and ringtones for mobile phones that link condom use with species conservation in the form of rhyming slogans like "wear a condom now...save the spotted owl" or "wrap with care...save the polar bear". This website also features links to a telephone hotline, map of volunteer condom distributors, a fact sheet, and e-newsletter.

"The mission of the Center for Biological Diversity is to stop the planetary extinction crisis wiping out rare plants and animals around the world. Explosive, unsustainable human population growth is an essential root cause of this crisis." Visit this page on the Endangered Species Condom Project website to read about the role that overpopulation plays in species extinction.

Through this initiative, the Center has distributed nearly half a million free condoms through thousands of volunteers in every state in the US, most recently to mark the day that the world population grew to 7 billion. To find out more, visit the 7 Billion and Counting website.
