Update on the Environment Challenge

just a quick update. previously i wrote about an environment pledge that was running concurrently with the Greatest Race on Earth 2007/2008. recently i received an email update from the site about the results of the challenge and just to let you know, a total 3.4 million pledges were received.

and as i mentioned before, the three countries with the highest number of pledges will share USD 1 million to be channeled to their WWF organisation. the nations with the highest pledges are:

First place (USD 500,000) - Brunei
Second Place (USD 350,000) - Taiwan
Third Place (USD 150,000) - Hong Kong

The countries that generated the most pledges per capita across each region were:
South East Asia - Brunei
North East Asia - Taiwan
Middle East and South Asia - Lebanon
Africa - Botswana
UK/Europe - Jersey
Americas - Peru

Thank you for anyone that has made a pledge and please continue to take care of Mother Nature...
