WWF IN ACTION

From its start in 1961, WWF (World Wildlife Fund) has worked to protect endangered species. They are
ensuring that the world our children inherit will be home to elephants, tigers, giant pandas, whales, and other
wildlife species, as well as people.

WWF safeguards hundreds of species around the world, but they focus special attention on some flagship
species such as giant pandas, endangered whales and dolphins, rhinos, elephants, and great apes. These species
not only need special measures and extra protection in order to survive, they also serve as umbrella species:
helping them means helping numerous other species that live in the same habitats.

In addition to the flagship animals, WWF works to protect numerous species in peril around the world. Large
predators like snow leopards, and migratory species like whooping cranes and songbirds, and a host of other
species facing threats also benefit from WWF's conservation efforts. WWF workers ensure that trade in wildlife
products doesn't harm a species, while also fighting against illegal trade.
