One of the most common organizations that is helping endangered species is the WWF , World Wildlife Fund , it is one of the worlds largest independent conservation organization of over 5 million supporters worldwide in 90 countries and supports about 1300 conservation and environmental projects. It is a charity that relays on about 60% of its funding from voluntary donations by private individuals . Another 45% of its funds come from the Netherlands , United States and United Kingdom.
The main issues that this organizations deals with is biodiversity, forests , freshwater ecosystems , oceans , coasts , endangered species , pollution , and climate change. The idea to start this organization came from a person named Victor Slotan who wrote a response to an article published by Julian Huxley. They decided to use the symbol of a panda for their organization because it came from a panda named Chi Chi which was transferred from the Beijing Zoo to the London Zoo the same year WWF was established .
WWF's goals are to focus on restoring population of 36 species , conserving 35 globally important ecoregions around the world , and reducing peoples ecological footprints in 6 regions. As well it works with organizations dealing with biodiversity loss , including financing , business practices , laws , and consumption choices.
My Personal Opinion
My personal thoughts on this article is that they are doing an amazing job by at least trying to save a number of different species as well as taking on a whole bunch of other tasks that are somewhat related to their main focus . I found it interesting that they decided to use a panda for their symbol , as well I thought it was cool that the panda was being transferred the same year this organization was being established. I feel like this is probably one of the best organizations in the country because it is trying to take on so many different things at one time.
Final Farewell
Well I guess this is the end of my blog , finally I would like to thank anyone who commented or took the time to read my blog .I must say that it was appreciated on my behalf that you took the time to read my blog and somehow give me some positive feedback on some of the articles I have written about.
My goal was to make people aware of all the animals that are endangered and what was all going on inside our world. I also wanted to educated people on the fact that many things are contributing to destroying our world . I feel that I achieved this goal because like I said I feel that some people actually realized what is happening to our world and hopefully will be doing something about it. My ideas for the future are possibly going to college and becoming a veterinarian so I can help animals everyday.
I hope you become a Veterinarian, because that was my dream job and i know i won't be able to achieve it so i hope you can do it. :)
