Help World Wildlife Fund Protect Nature and Wildlife This Holiday

Posted by Stacy in Digital Marketing, Education, Social Media

In the spirit of giving, Mightybytes donated to World Wildlife Fund in honor of our clients, friends and family this year for the holidays. This gift is already hard at work protecting endangered species, preserving threatened spaces, protecting habitats, and addressing global threats such as deforestation. Contributions help WWF build the resources necessary to carry out conservation programs, which focus on establishing and managing parks, training and equipping park rangers, guards and anti-poaching teams and helping to meet the needs of local people without destroying natural resources.

Recent World Wildlife Fund Efforts and Accomplishments:

• WWF helps to protect penguins, the flightless seabirds facing a number of threats, including destruction of nesting habitats, competition with fishermen for fish and shrimp, and introduced predators such as rats, dogs and foxes which eat penguin eggs and young. However, the greatest potential threat to penguins is global warming, as they are extremely sensitive to climate change.
• WWF Act for Our Future site on Climate Change: One of the greatest threats to wildlife and nature.
• House passes bill to raise funds for endangered species through new postage stamp. WWF Praises Bipartisan Effort to Help Save Rhinos, Tigers and Other Endangered Species.
• World Wildlife Fund’s Northern Great Plains Restoration Project recognized in 2009 Global Vision Awards.

See WWF Conservation Network actions in progress today and how you can take part by simply communicating.
