Wild Calls iPhone app increases awareness of the plight of endangered species worldwide

The Center for Biological Diversity has released an innovative new iPhone application, Wild Calls, a free app designed to increase awareness of the plight of endangered species worldwide and to spur people to take action to protect wildlife.

Wild Calls by Center for Biological Diversity allows users to receive a randomly selected endangered species sound each week (or more frequently if users choose) via push notification. Through the "Call of the Wild" feature, each week one of 30 endangered species sounds will be randomly selected from the Center's library and "pushed" to app users, who can then experience a genuine recording of an endangered species in its natural habitat, recorded by someone in the Center's global network of researchers and wildlife advocates. Users can then download the sound as a ringtone or browse the app's gallery of additional "Rare Earthtones" to download additional ringtones, along with matching wallpapers, or learn more about endangered species. Another feature of the app, "Wake Up Wild," allows users to make their cell-phone alarm clock play an endangered species sound as their wake-up call.

Wild Calls iPhone app is available for download FREE on the App Store in the Lifestyle category.
