Unexpected. Unprecedented. Uncertain.
Recent events in the USA, Britain, and in Australia have made me reflect on what WWF stands for and what they value.
WWF’s work is more critical than ever. At a time when significant parts of our society are feeling disconnected or left out of the conversation, working together has never been more important.
The WWF community is built on values of optimism and determination. And they live by the idea that together, it’s possible to make a difference.
They want a world where people and nature can live in harmony – and they believe they can get there:
- Last week Australia ratified the Paris agreement on climate change.
- A few weeks earlier the WWF celebrated when the world’s largest Marine Park was declared in the Southern Oceans.
- A few months ago more than 3000 WWF supporters chipped in to raise the money to buy and retire 2 deadly shark fishing licences.
- And 12 months ago hundreds of thousands of WWF’s supporters celebrated an end to the out-dated practice of dumping dredge spoil in the Great Barrier Reef’s World Heritage waters
When I look at what they’ve achieved, I can’t help but be optimistic about the future.
When we put our faith in diverse groups of people coming together to combine their passions, skills and resources – anything is possible.
Together Possible
