Description


WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of our planet's natural environment, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.
In order to achieve this mission, WWF focuses its efforts on two broad areas:

Biodiversity
Footprint
The first, is to ensure that the earth's web of life - biodiversity - stays healthy and vibrant for generations to come. We are strategically focusing on conserving critical places and critical species that are particularly important for the conservation of our earth's rich biodiversity.

The second, is to reduce the negative impacts of human activity - our ecological footprint. We are working to ensure that the natural resources required for life -land, water, air - are managed sustainably and equitably.

WWF is advocating for the Government to take action to ensure fewer sea lions are caught and killed in fishing nets, reinstating the bycatch limit as a first step. WWF also aims to collaborate with the Government in a review of the science, to determine all the threats to the sea lions' existence, for the Government to then introduce an effective conservation plan based on the findings, to prevent the species' extinction. The demise of this magnificent creature would be a global tragedy.

You can help WWF-New Zealand's campaign to protect New Zealand sea lions by joining our 'Speak out for Sea Lions' campaign. Write a letter to the New Zealand Government, calling on them to halt our sea lions' decline. Download our letter-writing toolkit and campaign materials at:  http://wwf.org.nz/sealions

WWF is grateful to Nicolas Brun for designing and producing this film on behalf of WWF-New Zealand, to Miranda Harcourt for voicing the narrative, to Rhian Sheehan for the music, and to Nik and Laura at Wellington Access Radio, who have all donated their time to the cause.

Most palm oil is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia on land that was once thriving rainforest. As global demand grows, more and more forests are being cleared. In areas such as Borneo and Sumatra, rich in biodiversity, deforestation can be catastrophic. Endangered species including orang-utans, tigers, elephants and rhinos are losing critical habitats, pushing them toward extinction.

In 2004, WWF helped set up the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a group that includes every link in the global supply chain, from growers and processors, to food companies and retailers and investors.

With the RSPO, WWF developed a set of international standards for responsible palm oil production. Producers that show they meet these criteria are able to sell certified sustainable palm oil. That means companies that use it in their lipstick, soap, margarine or whatever else can make the same guarantee to their customers.

Certified sustainable palm oil cannot be grown in place of primary forest or in important conservation areas. Growers have to use the best growing practices to keep soil and water supplies healthy, and to reduce pollution and carbon emissions. They also need to pay a decent wage and respect the rights of workers and communities.

The first certified sustainable palm oil came on to the market in September 2008. Today, about 6.4% of all palm oil is certified sustainable.

By looking out for CSPO, the label for sustainable palm oill, you'll be able to buy these products safe in the knowledge that you're not contributing to the destruction of the rainforests.

Die Fangflotte der Weltfischerei breitet sich immer weiter aus:    http://bit.ly/WWF_Infografik_Fisch

Die Fangflotten der Weltfischerei breiten sich über den gesamten Globus aus und hinterlassen dabei Spuren. 100 Millionen Quadratkilometer werden so intensiv befischt, dass die Ökosysteme bereits stark geschädigt sind. Das entspricht einem Drittel der Oberfläche des gesamten Weltmeeres. 

Sinkende Fänge in heimischen Gewässern sorgen dafür, dass die Industriestaaten die wachsende Nachfrage mit Fisch aus weit entlegenen Regionen und den Gewässern von Entwicklungsländern decken.

Auch die Fangflotte der EU fischt intensiv in fremden Meeren: Bereits 30 Prozent des unter EU-Flagge gefangenen Fisches stammen aus nicht-europäischen Fangregionen. Das intensiv befischte Einsatzgebiet der europäischen Fischer hat sich binnen 50 Jahren verdreifacht.

Der WWF fordert, dass im Rahmen der laufenden EU-Fischereireform diesem zerstörerischen Exportmodell ein Riegel vorgeschoben wird. Egal wo Europas Flotte im Einsatz ist, sie muss umwelt- und bestandsschonend fischen, wenn sie eine Zukunft haben will.

Mila is a young Indonesian woman who learnt about the plight of tigers at an early age and dreamt about doing something about it. After graduating, she joined WWF as a tiger conservationist (http://www.panda.org/tigers). Mila uses camera traps in the thick forests of Indonesia to photograph and film tigers, working on the frontlines to save this iconic species. WWF has pledged by 2022 to help double the number of wild tigers (TX2), whose population today stands at only 3,200. She joins WWF teams throughout Asia to ensure a future for this magnificent symbol of nature's beauty, power and mystery.
