Tik Tok and Conservation International have partnered to launch the #SaveOurOceans challenge to raise people’s awareness of protecting the oceans and seas. An organized campaign that highlights the importance of the oceans in the world’s ecosystem and should be preserved, for future generations, through creative short TikTok videos.
Uniting for the salvation of all mankind
From August 26 to September 9, Tik Tok users can apply an effect that will help clear the water area of plastic. For every video uploaded with the #SaveOurOceans challenge tag, Tik Tok will donate $2 to Conservation International. It is expected that donations for the protection and cleaning of an area of 3,000 square kilometers will amount to a total of 100,000 US dollars.
According to United Nations (UN) studies, plastic waste kills 1 million birds and 100,000 sea creatures every year. Marine life simply swallows plastic waste. Scientists estimate that by 2050 the weight of ocean plastic will exceed the total weight of all fish in the seas and oceans.

“TikTok users showcase and view moments from their daily lives through short videos. We aim to draw the attention of the world community to the importance of cleaning up the oceans and conserving resources. We are thrilled to be partnering with Conservation International on the campaign we have organized to raise awareness of this issue.”

USA, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, India, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia.
