Ellen DeGeneres is celebrating Earth Day with a new campaign.

The comedianтАЩs The Ellen Fund started the Endangered Campaign to provide nonprofits helping endangered animals with funding.

The campaign тАЬwill support the most effective non-profits that serve these species on the ground, providing more hope for the animals featured in Endangered. Through this campaign, The Ellen Fund will focus on local solutions, along with racial and gender equity, so weтАЩre also helping the nearby communities.тАЭ
