The WWF has become the world's largest independent conservation organization with over 5 million supporters worldwide, in more than 100 countries. The group's objective is to halt the damage to our planet's natural environment, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. The fund takes concrete actions in a number of areas. For example, it works with governments to reduce poaching of tigers and to set aside land to increase the size of tiger habitats. The WWF reports that humanity is already using nearly 50 percent more natural resources than the Earth can replace To address this problem it is developing and implementing new ways of growing crops, managing fisheries, forests, and wetlands, generating energy, and dealing with waste.
In order to carry out its conservation mission, the organization works with businesses and receives many donations and contributions from supporters, as well as help from hundreds of volunteers. Here is what two of them have to say about WWF.
