WWF – Let Them Live

Hello and thank you ever so much for taking the time to read my blog! My name is Louise and conservation of wildlife is something that I feel very strongly about. Although it is something lots of people know about, I want to go into more depth about the work that WWF does. After you’ve finished reading my blog, I hope that you will know more about the problems that us humans are causing our planet – and the things that live on it & that you want to help.

WWF’s main aim is to have a world where humans and wildlife can live in harmony. They feel that all the other life on the planet deserves to live just as much as humans do, and the fully understand the measures that we have to take to save them. They consult governments all over the world to try and free animals from the threat of extinction, and some of the most beautiful places of nature in the world. They have saved so many animals from extinction, like the giant panda and Arabian Oryx, as well as reducing large amounts deforestation. They give the most vulnerable a voice, to scream cries of pain that would otherwise fall on deaf ears and go unnoticed. So many animals and places owe their lives to the work that WWF has done. Some of the more recent work that they have done are, earth hour, taking Prime Minister David Cameron to the Artic to see the damage of climate change (2006), a petition to get the Korean Government to not pass a law that would allow whaling.

From WWF’s founding in 1961, they have relied purely on funds to help them achieve their goals, and in the 1960’s alone they raised over US$5.6 million. By its 20th anniversary, WWF had supported protected areas on five continents covering 1% of the Earth’s surface and contributed to the continued existence of a number of species. In the 2000’s, WWF vastly upscale its ambition, aiming now for transformational changes that would lead to lasting conservation, sustainable lifestyles and sustainable developments.
