The World Wildlife Fund protects
hundreds of species around the
world, but it focuses special
attention on endangered species.
These species need special
measures and extra protection if
they are to survive. The WWF is
currently funding over 2,000
projects. It also employs almost
4,000 people across the planet,
but it always needs more support
from the public. Only the public
can ensure a living planet for
future generations.
