We share our planet with millions of species of plants and animals - a wondrous variety of wildlife that enriches our lives in so many ways. This complex web of life provides the natural systems we depend on – giving us essentials like water, clean air, fertile soils and a stable climate. It gives us food, medicines and materials, and supports millions of jobs. It also inspires people around the world – making our lives richer in all sorts of ways. But our planet’s wildlife is in crisis – numbers have fallen by more than half since 1970, and species are going extinct at an alarming rate. We need to reverse this loss of nature and create a future where wildlife and people thrive again.

Whether our homes are near or far from the oceans, our lives depend on them. Oceans supply half the oxygen we breathe, and provide food and livelihoods for more than a billion people. They are also home to a wondrous array of wild species, from tiny plankton to the biggest creature that’s ever existed – the blue whale. But our oceans are in crisis. Centuries of overuse and neglect threaten to leave us with a vast blue wasteland. It’s time to change the way we see our oceans – from places where we take what we want and dump what we don’t, to a shared resource of immense value and fragility.

Forests are the lungs of our Earth, yet we are losing them at an alarming rate. WWF takes a solutions-oriented, integrated and local-to-global approach to tackle the causes of deforestation and degradation. WWF's work is geared toward halting deforestation and forest degradation around the world, from rainforests to temperate forests. Tough assignment? With your help, we can make it happen.
