An environmental group in Brazil launched on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, an effort to save the endangered three-banded armadillo, the mascot for the international soccer tournament that starts next month in Brazil. The group hopes the fact that the endangered armadillo is the Cup mascot, will help society and government become more aware of the importance of saving the armadillo and its natural habitat from extinction.
