#AnimalOfTheMonth: An Early Start for May: #SaveTheSeahorse

| April 27, 2012 | One comment

We are so passionate about our #AnimalOfTheMonth Project, that we just couldn’t WAIT until next week to pick out and adopt our next animal…The Seahorse! How could we resist this little adorable sea creature? So let today mark the official day we are announcing that we will #SaveTheSeahorse in the month of May.

Seahorses live in shallow tropical and temperate waters, anchoring themselves to sea grasses and coral. Their diet consists of bottom dwelling organisms, including shrimp-like crustaceans and plankton. They face threats from bycatch, incidental capture and habitat degradation. Unlike most other fish, they are monogamous and mate for life. Rarer still, they are among the only animal species on Earth in which the male bears the unborn young.

PinPoint Local’s New #AnimalOfTheMonth Initiative!

| April 13, 2012 | One comment

As you know this past February we started our #SaveThePanda campaign to raise awareness about the endangered Giant Pandas and the Google Panda Algorithm update. We received our little panda mascot and adoption certificate last month.

Well the whole process made us feel so good, that we decided to adopt a new animal every month!  So we are proud to announce our #AnimalOfTheMonth adoption plan!

We will adopt a new animal from WWF every month, and post the photos and adoption process on our blog and social media accounts for you to follow along. Of course we will share photos of our fuzzy little friends too!

We are excited to announce the April #AnimalOfTheMonth….

The Emperor Penguin! (#SaveThePenguins)

“Emperor penguins live on the floating ice packs and islands of Antarctica. Known as the “giant of the penguins,” an adult can grow up to four feet in height and weigh 80 pounds. Flightless and clumsy on land, these birds are most at home underwater, where they feed on a diet of crustaceans, small fish and squid. The emperor penguin is the deepest diving penguin, capable of reaching depths of 1,700 feet. Climate change and habitat loss pose the greatest risks to these remarkable birds.” – WWF

We hope that other #DigitalMedia, #LocalSEO, and #InternetMarketing Companies will join us in our efforts to protect our planet’s endangered species.

Follow along every month with our #AnimalOfTheMonth and #SaveThePenguins posts as we go through another animal adoption process!
