Save our Species!

Have you ever heard of the WWF? Well, the WWF stands for the World Wide Fund for Nature and it is a charity that protects wildlife around the world. A small group of people founded the charity in 1961. They chose a black and white panda as its logo. The idea for the logo came from a panda bear called Chi Chi which had arrived at the London zoo at the time. Thousands of people went to see this rare animal and Chi Chi inspired many of them to learn more about animals in danger. She was the perfect symbol for the new charity. Fifty years later the WWF still has its famous logo and has become one of the biggest wildlife charities in the world. It has nearly 500 million members and operates in over 100 countries. The WWF still works hard to protect some of the world’s rarest animals; jaguars, gorillas, turtles and pandas are just a few examples! One of the ways people can help to protect endangered species through the WWF is by adopting an animal. There are over a hundred different species to adopt, including tigers, butterflies, bears and birds. People can choose the animal they want to adopt and then make a donation. In return the WWF will send them photographs, information and an adoption certificate. It’s a great way to learn more about animals. The WWF will also send them a special bag with a cuddly toy replica of the adopted animal. Friends and family can also purchase a cuddly toy animal or they can adopt an animal for someone as a gift.
