Activity 3: The WWF: World Wildlife Fund [10 points]
In 1961, a number of people came together to start an organisation called the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The main goal of this organisation was/is to protect life on earth. Hundreds of WWF staff work in countries all over the world trying to protect our planet and the animals who live here. To learn more about their amazing work, click on one of the two video links below.
Clip #1: Freshwater Seals
Clip #2: Tigers
Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.
3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal.
I have chosen to do my project on the fresh water seals, as for some reason I cannot watch the second video on Tigers because I was denied access on my device.
The Word Wildlife Fund are trying to save the Saimaa Ringed Seal, as they are a highly endangered species of seal throughout the planet with approximately 360 seals left.
The WWF are building man made snow banks to help the seal pups survive, as the Seals give birth to the pups in snow banks. These snow banks protect to seal pups from many types of danger such as predators, getting cold and human disturbance.
The video that I watched did not include any information about their success protecting the seal pups, but I can theoretically conclude that more of the seal pups will survive because the WWF has provided protection.

Greetings Ella,
ReplyDeleteYes, you're absolutely correct! The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is working hard to save freshwater seals known as the Saimaa Ringed Seal. They are one of the rarest seals in the world. You have shown great understanding about what the WWF are doing to save these freshwater seals. It's amazing what people can achieve when we come together and offer a helping hand, don't you think? There is still plenty of work to be done to ensure that we are able to protect these animals but any efforts made will always be helpful to their well-being. You might be able to find out more information on the outcome of their supportive projects here:

Keep up the good work,

Hello Evelyn,
DeleteYes I most definitely agree with you regarding your comment that there is still lots of work to be done to help these animals and their existence, but anything helps significantly big or small.
Thank you for the link; I will be sure to check it out.
Kind Regards
