My Beast

L.I to create a beast.

Here is my beast. His name is Isaac because I thought that it would be a really cool name. It has a wolf head, a human body with a cool sun glass and it shows that he is ready for the summer. On top he wears nothing and on bottom he wears blue shorts. He also has green eagle wings so he can fly to anywhere he wants to. Isaac likes to have fun on the beach and also likes to eat.

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.
