Protecting Life

Usually when people think biodiversity, we think about nature and animals inside the forest or water. But as time passes we notice that people don't take care of the world and animals are starting to extinct. But the group I am going to introduce is trying to protect life in certain part of the world like in the arctic. This Group is called, WWF (The World Wildlife Fund for Nature). Created in 1972 by Senator Alan Macnaughton and is one of the worlds biggest organization today.

As I said above WWF stands for the World Wide Fund for Natures. It helps raise fund to protect many animals that are in danger of getting hurt and in the process of being extinct. WWF not only protects the ecosystem but also tries to restore the ecosystem. WWF organizes many events that help restore trees and organizes bake sales. 


WWF top priorities are to protect the climate, water and people.  For example one of the lakes that WWF protect is lake superior. It is home to many diffrent animals including, trout, loons, woodland caribous and falcons.  


WWF also started a thing called Earth hour. On a certain day in march everyone turns of the lights for a hour.

I think that WWF is doing a great job protecting our planet and that they are trying to promote what they are doing to the world. I like the fact that they funraise events like bakesales, shoreline clean up, and earth hours to get everyone invoving in protecting the earth.
