The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an environmental organization dedicated to protecting the world’s wildlife and wetlands. It is one of the largest private supported conservation organizations in the world, with support from 1 million members in just the United States. Since 1961 the WWF has invested in over 13,100 projects in 157 countries.
I picked this organization to write to, and to write about, because they seem very involved in helping the wildlife and the wetlands. With so many members, and so many projects going on, the organization seems very dedicated. Not only has it been around so long, but also the organization exists in various countries around the world. It got my attention when researching it, and gives many great tips on how to get involved.
World Wildlife Fund US is part of the international WWF network, which has national organizations or representatives in more than 50 countries across five continents.

The three goals the WWF focuses on are: protecting endangered spaces, saving endangered species, and addressing global threats. The WWF has been a conservation leader for over 40 years, helping save the rhino, tiger, and giant panda, and helping establish and manage parks and reserves worldwide.
The Term Paper on Wildlife Conservation in India
Nature is the major part that gave plenty of chances to flourish mankind. When it comes about doing justice, it’s all what nature do, but not us.

And when our turn came to save the nature, we are simply sitting back, relaxing as if nothing has happened. ...
Specifically, to help save endangered animals, the WWF saves the animals through varieties of programs, including education, habitat conservation and increasing the capacity of local governments and people within the endangered animals’ home. As for conserving and reconstructing the animals habitats, the WWF created a campaign called “Forests for Life Campaign,” which helps save the animals by creating and keeping a safe environment. First, the WWF works with governments, lending agencies, and local communities to establish effective management of a representative network of protected areas with a minimum of 10 percent coverage for each forest type found in each country. Second, WWF works with companies to transform the destructive and wasteful habits of the timber trade into conservation efforts.
As for the ways people can help, the WWF recommends three steps; Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The WWF says that if the average American reduced his/her consumption of wood and paper to the level of the average European, there would be a reduction of 11 billion cubic feet of wood consumed each year. This would save 135 million trees, each 100 feet tall and 1.5 feet in diameter.
