| | Our partnership with United Airlines is focused on supporting CI's biodiversity conservation efforts and raising consumer awareness about conservation issues. In 2003, United Airlines and CI developed a public service announcement, featuring Harrison Ford, for use on United flights to educate its customers on biodiversity conservation and CI. In December 2001, United coordinated with CI to airlift 1,200 turtles confiscated from a shipment destine for China's illegal food trade. The turtles, including 12 highly endangered species, were transported to sanctuaries in Florida. United has designated CI as a beneficiary of its onboard coin-collection program resulting in support to CI's conservation efforts. United collaborated with Starbucks Coffee Company in 2002, to raise awareness about CI's Conservation Coffee program by serving Shade Grown Mexico Coffee on its domestic flights. United designated CI as a member organization of United's Charity Miles program, allowing frequent fliers to donate their miles to CI. In 1998 and 1999, United helped supported two CI education programs, including the web-based "Eco-Adventure" program for students, and the "Rainforest in a Box" project for young children.
