WWF
The planet is
under attack from an uncontrolled
release of toxic chemicals. Oceans
are being polluted, forests cut
down, and many species are now under
threat of extinction. Globally we
are using over 20% more natural
resources each year than can be
regenerated. The planet cannot keep
up with our growing consumption
levels. WWF works to stop this degradation
of the planet’s natural environment
and to build a future in which humans
live in harmony with nature. WWF
works to address global threats
such as climate change, the consumption
of natural resources and the use
of toxic chemicals..• Help to protect
threatened species like the orang-utan,
tiger and dolphin. • Protect and
preserve endangered habitats like
the Amazon rainforest and UK coastal
waters and wetlands. • Campaign
for cleaner oceans to protect both
animals and people from pollution.
• Combat global warming by persuading
governments to do more to tackle
this serious threat to our future.
