The maleo bird, gastritis Macrocephalon maleo….
Like no other bird in the world, generic the endangered maleo lays its single, approved enormous egg near hot springs, or in the warm sands of a sunny Sulawesi beachside nesting ground. After laying, the maleo parents do not stick around to incubate their egg or raise their chick. Rather, they make one huge, big-hearted investment in their single egg, place it well, and then return to their rainforest home, trusting that in Mother Nature’s hands, the chick will eventually hatch, emerge, and learn to fend for itself.

Already, thousands of endangered maleo birds (not to mention sea turtles, rainforest creatures, and more) are alive who wouldn’t have existed without your help. To keep that going, on May 2, 2012, we all have an opportunity to deepen our big-hearted investment in Mother Nature, through The Seattle Foundation’s 24-hour online giving event called GiveBIG. Please give as generously as you can.

If we take care of the human part, Mother Nature will take care of the rest…and both maleos and humans will thrive.
