Let's act now!

Life in the slipknot
Biodiversity is the sum of every living thing around us. It is us. By letting it die we are killing ourselves. Habitat destruction and invasive alien species are considered undesirable side effects of development. That will no longer do. They are unacceptable side effects and they must stop.

Healthy environments - healthy people: blood and...
Human health and biodiversity; the two are fundamentally inseparable. The food we eat, the multitude of pills we swallow for anything from the common cold to cancer all stem from living matter, the sum of which makes up biodiversity. Even oil and gas are nothing more than ancient biodiversity.

Sumatra
In the past few decades, Sumatra's lowland forests have shrunk dramatically, from 16 million hectares in 1900 to just 500,000-600,000 hectares today. Harapan Rainforest is a forest under threat, and if we don't act now, this rainforest and its amazing wildlife will be gone in five years. Our ambitious project to restore habitat of this scale and importance is not a task undertaken lightly - but with your help and our expertise it can be saved.

Toxic Fuels
We need to cut greenhouse gas emissions now if we are to prevent catastrophic climate change. And yet, companies are already planning environmentally-destructive energy - 'toxic fuel' - projects far into the future. WWF, in partnership with The Co-operative Financial Services, is campaigning for the carbon impact of these projects to be made more transparent - for the sake of the planet and to help ensure our pensions and other investments are protected. At the launch of the Toxic Fuels campaign WWF-UK and The Co-operative Financial Services were outside the Canadian Embassy in London to protest at the continued expansion of the destructive projects that exploit Albertan tar sands. We were joined by delegates from the Canadian Beaver Lake Cree who supported our call.

The Bottom Line
Bottom trawling is laying waste to the precious ecosystems of the deep sea. It is comparable to clear cut logging and it's turning our oceans into deserts. Sigourney Weaver calls on delegates of the UN to take immediate action to stop this destruction.
