TOKYO, March 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Interlink Co., Ltd., the official operator of the .earth domain registry, announced today that the new .earth top-level domains (TLD) have been gaining momentum in the marketplace.
Designed to be a platform that enables global citizens to share their voices for the betterment of society and enrichment of life on Earth, the new .earth domain enhances the overall online brand strength for any organization.

In the coming weeks, Interlink will be launching new promotions, campaigns and initiatives in support of Earth Day2016.
“From urbanization to natural disasters to global conflict over resources, we face very significant challenges in transforming global change into action, which requires information,” added Williams. “The .earth domain can help Earth and environmental-related messages to stand out in Internet search results and build trust through a community by creating quality content. This effort could ultimately result in the action required to ensure a stable future for our planet.”
