2. History
The WWF stands for the World Wide fund for Nature. It
started in 1961. It started because of the concern of a
few people who were worried at what was happening to
the world. Since then it has become one of the largest
environmental organizations in the world. It’s name and
logo have changed over the years as they went from
being just the World Wildlife Fund to what they are now.
They've gone from wanting to save some species of
animals to trying to protect the world.
3. Aims
The WWF aim to have a better world
Their main focusses are saving the habitats and species
of wildlife from the birds to the bees to even the trees and
reducing the negative effects of humans. Focused on
conserving places and species important to keep earth's
natural rich diversity. Trying to ensure that the natural
resources required for life (land, water, air) are managed
sustainably.
4. Why we Should Raise
We should raise money for the WWF on a mufti day
because of what they do for NZ.
They have many projects ranging from eradicating mice
from certain islands to reducing our carbon foot print.
But their most important main project in New Zealand is
saving the Maui Dolphins.
5. Maui Dolphin
They are critically endangered living in the coastal
waters of New Zealand's West Coast North Island. It is
estimated that there are only 55 Maui Dolphins
remaining. Their numbers have plummeted from 1500
in the 1970’s due to deadly ocean work. We need to
protect them by stopping set netting, gillnets and
dangerous sea mining. They are going to become
extinct due to our fishermen. Currently only half of their
habitat is protected.
