Animal populations are disappearing at an alarming rate. World Wildlife Fund needs your support to prevent threats like deforestation, climate change and illegal trade that are putting tigers and other species at risk.
There are different ways you and your school can get involved — you can donate, start a fundraiser and even adopt an animal.

The largest animals walking the Earth, African elephants are in sharp decline due to poaching for the international ivory trade. Their population is estimated between 470,000 - 690,000 individuals. Photo Credit: World Wide Fund for Nature (WFF)
With population of just about 800, these species have been pushed farther up into the mountains by humans who have settled into the gorilla's territory. As a result, mountain gorillas are forced to endure dangerous and sometimes deadly conditions. Photo Credit: World Wide Fund for Nature (WFF)

Classified as marine mammals, polar bears were listed as a threatened species in the U.S. due to ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change. Today their remaining population is estimated to be between 20,000-25,000. Photo Credit: World Wide Fund for Nature (WFF)
I love animals so much
I hate how animals such as wildlife have been taken for granted. Also how our unconcern actions have taken us to this such position. We need to realize that these animals are replaceable. As a world wide nation we need to move and fast because once its gone their is no going back nor a replace.
i feel the same way people need to quit taking our wild life for granted #save wildlife
I know right I want to slap hunters in the face
animals should stay
Save the species! This has been a growing concern for me. I can’t imagine a world without life. This is why I went vegan 4 years ago! Animals were put on this earth for a reason. And we need to make sure they stay
Animals need to stay
i love cat kitty dog puppy bird lions panther and every thing
I LOVE KITTYS
I love pandas
This is about cat not pandas
as a kid all poachers have heard, we need to protect this earth because its the only one we have and yet somehow those words are always forgotten. greed gets in the way of good.
I think it’s extremely sad that people never really realize what they are doing and how they’re impacting the environment. There are way to many species (Not SPICES. learn to spell people!) that are either extinct or endangered that would still be here if it wasn’t for us. I hope people start noticing the devastating effects that we cause and turn it around.
Omg… That like cute on cute
Omg……they are so cute
OMG SO CUTE….
We have to save the panda’s help anyone that can.
boats
KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok kitties where does that come in at with saving panda’s?
I believe we can save these animals if we work together!
i think we can save these species of animals by less hunting and poaching the animals that are endangered
ya the spices have to to be saved cause there are 4 females and 1 male and the animals habitat and it is one of of the the most endangered animals soon it must be saved or else we will never see the white rhinos
the most endangered spices we will never see if hunt or habitat is lost and the need more babies so they live a great life and they are one of the cutest animals needed in the natural environment and it must live
I think that is really true.
