5. Project description
Provide a short description of the project including strategies, regional challenges, aims and specific project activities.: 

The Portland Hawthorne Hostel and RCE Greater Portland teamed up with the United Nations Association, US Fish and Wildlife Service and Oregon Zoo to show the movie “Gambling on Extinction” and offer a presentation on endangered species and the illegal animal trade, for World Environment Day, on June 6, 2016. The post-film discussion was engaging, as were the different tables, hosted by community partners.  It was challenging to partner with the public sector, given strict rules around logo use and restrictions on political advocacy.
