WWF goals

L.I :
To research about the World Wildlife Fund.

The WWF stands for World Wildlife which was formed on 1961. This organization aims to protect life on planet. Over the years, this organisation have funded many projects all over the world to protect animal and its heritage.

How do they help the Freshwater seals:

One of the projects funded by WWF is to protect the seals which became endangered in Lake Saimaa in Finland. The ice in Lake Saimaa became very thin due to climate change. Thin layers of snow is not suitable for the seals to form lairs to give birth. The new born were left on the surface of ice and were prone to predators. The WWF helped in protecting this endangered species of this Lake by building snow banks. The snow banks helped seals to form lairs and the new born are protected from predators.
They help the Freshwater Seals by making snow banks for them so the pups can stay warm.

How do they help the Tigers:

 WWF have volunteers in different part of the world. These volunteers help as a wildlife rangers protecting tigers in harsh weather and from poachers.

Have they had any success in doing so:

WWF had lot of success in protecting wildlife.  Tiger protector project have lead to increase in wild tiger numbers in the world which increased for the first time in hundred years.  Likewise the number of other endangered species number have increased as well. These animals include Panda, turtles, Amur Leopard, Gorillas and many sea animals.

  1. Hi Vayan,
    Well done on finishing this Summer Learning Journey activity. You did a great job writing about how the World Wildlife Fund helps Tigers and Seals. Building snow banks for the seal pups and protecting tigers from poaches will hopefully make their numbers increase. Keep up the good work.

  2. Kia Ora Vayan,
    I want to congratulate you with your efforts on this one. Not a lot of people have advised if the WWF is having success with their efforts, and you have, which is a big plus. Well done! I'm so happy to hear that the tigers are on the increase! That makes me happy, since tigers are quite beautiful.

    I'm glad you're blogging!
    Talk to you later
