What I hoped for was convergence: after a certain number of proposals 
are submitted, people start playing with and improving the images 
submitted by the other and when *a lot* of people converge on playing by 
their own will with one single mascot, we can be certain we found a winner.

I am not sure, we can come with a *huge* list with endangered species 
but we have not solved anything until someone draw *cute* images of them.
Also, some of those species may be not well known outside a certain 
geographical area (they are endangered) so people may ask: what is that? 
(but as an apposite argument, something less known is geekier and may 
appeal better to our current audience).
