| The Basics: Title: World Wildlife Fund Author: World Wildlife Fund URL: www.worldwildlife.org (US site); http://wwf.org (WWF international sites) Date: 2007 Notes: At a Glance: The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is the largest multinational conservation organization in the world: it works in 100 countries and is supported by close to 5 million members globally. For more than 45 years the WWF has worked to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by promoting sustainable approaches, promoting the efficient use of resources and energy, promoting the reduction of pollution and by protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals. WWF work addresses issues in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater realms, and takes place on global, continental, ecoregional, and local scales. Best for: Those who want to help save the environment. For those without a lot of time a monetary donation will be put to good use by the organization (less than 7% of the monies raised go to administrative expenses). For those with more time, the WWF’s Conservation Action Network, fellowships and educational programs, seminars, and Parties for the Plant are all great ways to help save the environment. Standout Features: This site is jam-packed with wonderful information on the environment, conservation science, and endangered species. Plus, interactive tools like the games, e-cards, photo galleries, and WildFinder make this site fun! For those wanting to donate money, the WWF has an animal “adoption” program. Keep in Mind: WWF wants you to help protect the environment by joining the organization. “Donate Now” buttons are prevalent on the vast majority of the pages, but there are not any advertisements from outside companies. Because the WWF has been around for 45 years, money donated to the organization goes to support solid and time-sustaining programs. Suggested by: HeatherMeix |
