Our crew charity is the WWF – World Wide Fund For Nature. The WWF is a charity fundraiser for natural habitat preservation and conservation. They also support endangered species by giving members of the public the ability to adopt and support an animal on their website – https://www.wwf.org.uk/ .
Crew Attenborough believes this is an important cause due to its ability to help preserve our natural world and not let any more species die out and disappear forever. It is of most importance that we, as people of the natural world, must help sustain and support it. We do not want to lose anymore.
The WWF does worldwide work helping preserve nature. It also helps endangered animals across the globe, such as the Snow leopard. There are only 4,000 left in the wild, along with the African wild dog which is one of the most endangered mammals on the planet. The African Wild dog is carnivorous, and it is a wild canine native to Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Adelie penguin is a popular animal to adopt as their species is declining. One of the main reasons for this decline is climate change causing the melting of their homes.
For a species to be classified as endangered there has to be a decline in population between 50 and 70 percent.
“We have the power to bring our world back to life.” – WWF
The opinion is backed by the members of the public. The WWF helps preserve habitats by restoring forests, coral reefs and more by planting trees introducing new species to the environment.
Crew Attenborough believes the WWF embodies the character traits of Compassion, Courage, Integrity, Respect and Craftsmanship and Quality. These traits are also displayed by Sir David Attenborough and we look forward to giving support to this important cause.
Throughout year 9 we will be planning events to raise money and awareness to support the WWF.
