authors, athletes, musicians and world renowned scientists, are among the
familiar faces that have already posed and leant their support for the
campaign.

"Amber's passionate efforts to create greater awareness about the
environmental issues facing our planet and its wildlife are remarkable," said
Fred O'Regan, President and CEO, IFAW. "To have Amber share her voice with
IFAW is an absolute privilege."

"I am so proud to be a part of this fantastic organization," said Ms.
Valletta. "From saving the magnificent whales to the iconic polar bears, IFAW
has done wonders to protect wildlife populations. I am excited to join the
cause and help spread the word about IFAW's campaigns."

Ms. Valletta joins Leonardo DiCaprio, Keely and Pierce Brosnan, Ben Stein, Hal
Prince, and Goran Visnjic as a member of IFAW's Honorary Board of Directors.
