2008 Balfire Awards Nominee: World Wildlife Fund
Age:
Group: World Wildlife Fund International
Contact information: WWF International, Gland - Av. du Mont-Blanc 1196 Gland - Switzerland
E-Mail:
Type of nomination: Conservation
Description of nominee: In almost 5 decades, WWF (formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund) has become one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations.
With almost 5 million supporters distributed throughout 5 continents, WWF has offices in over 90 countries and can safely claim to have played a major role in the evolution of the international conservation movement.
Since 1985, WWF has invested over US$1 billion in more than 12,000 projects.
All these projects and activities play a part in the campaign to stop the accelerating degradation of Earth's natural environment, and to help its human inhabitants live in greater harmony with nature.
Look. We need to stop damaging our only life support system. A system on which, factually, we all depend (whether you recognize it or not).
We need to share our world with all the other species that live on it. Respectfully. Harmoniously.
And we must stop being the cause of their disappearance. Their extinction.
We must also learn to live with what natural resources are available to us.
It's not hard. It's not rocket science. It just means that in living, we must stop polluting. And poisoning. And being so outrageously wasteful.
