A brief intro about WWF from Ben Li of MadCool Network
:
WWF
stands for World Wildlife Fund. Most people will think of World
Wrestling Federation when they hear WWF. Some even thought the
panda was part of the World Wrestling Federation but the truth
is WWF is known worldwide by its panda logo. World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) is dedicated to protecting the world's wildlife and wildlands.
The largest privately supported international conservation organization
in the world, WWF has sponsored more than 2,000 projects in 116
countries and has more than 1 million members in the U.S. alone.
WWF directs its conservation efforts toward three global goals:
protecting endangered spaces, saving endangered species, and addressing
global threats. From working to save the giant panda, tiger, and
rhino to helping establish and manage parks and reserves worldwide,
WWF has been a conservation leader for more than 36 years.
Now
you are probably wondering why am I doing this? Well, I grew up
watching the Nature show on PBS. One of my favorite animal
was the Panda. When I was small, I told myself that when I grow
up, I will donate money to help them out. Now that I am older,
I stayed true to my words, and is now a proud member of WWF (as
you can see below). I also joined the Panda Passport Program,
which is free for those who can't afford to donate. It is a great
program in which you can make a difference by spending a few minutes
of your time! So act now, I am doing my part to help, are you?
