World Wildlife Fund

The World Wildlife Fund is an organization that works, in 100 different countries, to preserve the environment and protect endangered species against habitat fragmentation The people who are part of the organization are knowledgeable about the environment and are passionate about what they are doing, which is why they are so successful. The WWF is determined to encourage the whole world to practice sustainable living and protect the environment as much as possible. The people in WWF go all over the world, even to small villages, and show the citizens how to live a more sustainable life, while still improving conditions for their own lives.

It is good that the WWF recognizes the tight knit connection humans have with the environment and that using the environment for further human development is necessary, but that there just needs to be less damage to the environment in the process. This idea is similar to the idea I present in my speech, that habitat fragmentation cannot be avoided all together, but that it needs to be done less. If their idea of sustainable living becomes a global success, then I think it is a great way to stop habitat fragmentation and protect the environment. I think the WWF does a good job of encouraging others to donate money and get involved in the important environmental problem, just as they themselves have all over the world. One way I think they could get even more people involved, is if they had some smaller goals to accomplish, as well as the ambitious goal of more sustainable living all over the globe. If more people felt as though they could easily make a difference in their community, or if the WWF set specific goals for a concerned community, then more people may be inclined to help the cause.
