Illegal Hunting /Poaching

Poaching and Wildlife TradeHunting and poaching animals is one of the leading drivers of biodiversity loss. For mammals, birds, and some other species groups, it is the biggest threat. This risk is compounded by growing markets for wildlife trade: luxury foods, pets and medicinal remedies is itself a dominant risk. In fact, some of the world’s most charismatic species have already gone extinct as a result of wildlife trade. As we saw in our work on elephant populations, the last Javan rhino, Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus in Vietnam was shot for its horn in 2010. This subspecies is now extinct. The Northern White rhino is also on the brink of extinction – there are only two individuals left, and both of them are female.

The Devastating Effects of Wildlife PoachingWildlife poaching is a cruel trade that has negative side-effects for local communities, wildlife populations, and the environment.

Marine Pollution

Marine PollutionMarine pollution is a combination of chemicals and trash, most of which comes from land sources and is washed or blown into the ocean. This pollution results in damage to the environment, to the health of all organisms, and to economic structures worldwide.

Ocean pollution: 11 facts you need to knowWith each passing year, we expose the ocean to more pollutants, from trash to chemicals. Fortunately, it’s not too late to clean up our act.

Ocean Pollution: The Dirty FactsWe’re drowning marine ecosystems in trash, noise, oil, and carbon emissions.

Deforestation

Deforestation FrontsOver 43 million hectares, an area roughly the size of Morocco, was lost in deforestation hotspots in the tropics and sub-tropics between 2004 and 2017. Urgent action is needed to protect forests and the people and ecosystems that rely on them.

Pollution Effects on Animals

Plastics | Initiatives | WWFPlastic waste is choking our planet – polluting the air, water, and soil both people and wildlife need to survive. And as this crisis spreads to every corner of the globe, WWF is leading the charge to help reimagine how we source, design, dispose of, and reuse the plastic materials communities most depend upon. Because while plastic can help make our hospitals safer, our food last longer, and our packages more efficient to ship, it has no place in nature. Every day plastic is flowing into our natural environment at an unprecedented rate – a dump truck every minute into our oceans alone. It’s time to turn off the tap. Together. WWF is uniting our global networks of industry leaders, consumers, and policymakers to transform our systems, so the plastics we discard become plastics we use again. As everyday people continue doing their part to reduce, reuse, and recycle, WWF is engaging policymakers to ensure the plastics leaving recycling bins stay in effective waste management systems, and out of the hands of illegal plastic traffickers. Through our ReSource:Plastic activation hub, we’re helping some of the world’s leading companies translate ambitious plastic commitments into measurable change – both across their business operations, and well beyond their supply chains. We’re working on the ground with local partners from Indonesia to Peru to keep plastic out of our planet’s most extraordinary ecosystems. And in oceans the world over we’re supporting communities and fishing crews, big and small, to improve gear use and recovery, so issues like abandoned nets no longer pose one of the biggest threats to marine life. WWF is fighting for a world with no plastic in nature by 2030. It’s a world where our oceans teem with marine life, not discarded nets, bottles and bags. Where no human breathes the toxic fumes of burning plastic. And where every indispensable plastic product is used to make another. It’s a world where people and nature thrive together. Join us.
