INTERSPECIES INTERNET

I2IONLINE OR INTERSPECIES INTERNET FOUNDED BY BRITISH MUSICIAN PETER GABRIEL SEEKS TO ENGAGE TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPERS TO BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS BETWEEN THE COGNITIVE SPECIES ALREADY ENGAGED WITH TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION. ULTIMATELY, THE GOAL IS TO RAISE THE AWARENESS OF ENDANGERED AND PROTECTED SPECIES WITHIN THE INDIGENOUS NATIONAL FRAMEWORK VIA EDUCATION AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES. OUR DREAM IS TWO-FOLD:

TO COMMUNICATE WITH THESE SENTIENT ANIMALS VIA TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND THROUGH EDUCATION AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES, TO PUT AN END TO THE SLAUGHTER FOR TRADE.
