Lights out for the Globe

Posted on 19 January 2010 by admin

With your help, WWF has spent 50 years conserving the most magnificent landscapes and species in the world. Some of our greatest conservation successes, however, are now being unraveled by dramatic climate shifts.

Without breakthrough action to reduce climate change, animals including giant pandas, polar bears, African lions, marine turtles, penguins, whales and dolphins face the threat of extinction.

Ten to Watch in 2010

Posted on 29 December 2009 by admin

WWF’s list of “10 to Watch in 2010” includes such well-known and beloved species as tigers, polar bears, pandas, and rhinos, as well as lesser-known species such as bluefin tuna and mountain gorillas.

WWF scientists say these, and many other species, are at greater risk than ever before because of habitat loss, poaching, and climate change-related threats.

This year’s watch list includes five species directly impacted by climate change, as well as the monarch butterfly, the species at the center of an endangered biological phenomenon.

Tigers are at the forefront of this year’s list, with the official Year of the Tiger slated to begin in February 2010.

Nepal expands Tiger Territory

Posted on 21 November 2009 by admin

Picture 2Earlier this year the first-ever nation-wide estimate of the tiger population in Nepal revealed the presence of 121 breeding tigers in the wild within four protected areas of the country. In order to ensure that these tiger numbers remain stable and start to increase, WWF and its partners called on the government to increase antipoaching activities and habitat protection.

Heeding this call to action, the government of Nepal recently announced an expansion of Bardia National Park in the Terai Arc Landscape.

Find out more about this great conservation initiative, and how it will help curb illegal wildlife trade and poaching in Nepal.

Climate Change Wake-Up Call

Posted on 16 September 2009 by admin

At noon on Monday, September 21, WWF would like for you to Sound the Alarm on climate change and join thousands of people from all around the country in calling their state’s Senators urging them to vote “yes” on the Clean Energy & Security Act they are scheduled to vote on this fall.

Sound the Alarm coincides with world leaders descending upon the United Nations the week of the 21st to discuss climate change. It is part of suite of events happening around the world that will raise awareness to the need for impactful domestic legislation and a new global treaty that lowers our collective carbon emissions.

0909wucCalling your Senators is the most important way for your voice to be heard on this issue. It’s fast and easy, and most importantly it works.

Please set your alarms for noon on Monday, September 21 and tell your Senators that you need them to vote “yes” on the Clean Energy & Security Act.

For Sound the Alarm, WWF is joining with the Global Campaign for Climate Action’s (GCCA) international Tck Tck Tck campaign, which is organizing many different events during climate week.
