| Supporting The WWF At Christmas Is A Really Rewarding Gift To Someone |
So who are the WWF?
About the WWF
Starting in 1961 the WWF was well known for its pioneering work to save and protect iconic wildlife like tigers, whales, pandas and rhinos and they have achieved a lot since then. But they do so much more.
Their ultimate goal is:
They want people to respect and value the natural world and find ways to share the earth’s resources fairly. They do this by working a lot with communities, politicians and businesses. They need to work together with these groups because most of the threats to wildlife and habitats come from human pressures and the increasing demand for food, fuel or water.
Challenging themselves to 6 BIG WINS they aim to achieve these and other challenges by 2018.
These include:
1. Wildlife restored (continued safeguarding of the populations of 10 of the worlds most iconic and threatened species).
2. Forests and oceans sustained (continue to increase the area of forests and oceans effectively managed and protected).
3. Rivers flowing (continue to secure or improve the flow of 4 of the worlds great rivers and also making sure UK rivers are restored).
4. Sustainable timber and seafood traded (To continue to radically change the timber and seafood sectors in the UK).
5. Carbon Emissions reduced (To continue to press for strong climate targets and work with WWF network to reduce carbon emissions in major new economies).
6. Valuing nature (Ensure that the true values of nature is reflected in political and economic decision-making in their priority places).

| This is perfect for cold winter nights, warms the hands up lovely! |
Tote bag deer (£12.95)
I love this cotton tote bag, it has come in so handy since I received it for review. I have taken it everywhere as it folds up into my handbag and is a really good size. With strong handles, and beautiful deer design, it is not only practical but very fashionable and in season. My sister who is a lot younger than me, admired this bag when I was catching up with her in my recent trip to York. I also popped this bag in the outer section of my suitcase when travelling to and from the airport and it was perfect for popping my heavy winter coat in for going through security so that I didn’t have to be weighed down with warm clothing.
Designer shopping tote featuring a beautiful deer stag printed using vegetable dyes on 100% natural medium-weight cotton canvas and designed by Cherith Harrison produced under license for WWF. Measures 38cm w x 49cm h, gusset 11.5cm, handles 18cm.

Definitely animals, especially those that are nearly extinct. 🙁
Rain forests – we need to slow down the destruction to ensure a healthy planet for our children
Endangered animals – although naturally that's going to include loads of other habitat stuff, water and native cultures too…!
I think forest and habitat conservation is very important, as well as protection from hunting/poachers.
I think focus of endangered species – after all once they are gone, they are gone! Of course to address this habit conservation and a crack down of poaching is vital. This has to stop, it's just as much their planet as ours x
Animals. Creating and protecting safe habitats to ensure survival and increase numbers of endangered species, working with local communities through education.
Poachers in South Africa 🙁
animals… although sometimes you need to protect the habitat to save the creature, so a combination really
In my opinion you can't save one without saving the other as well. I think animals first though. It's a difficult question – something needs to be done!
i think we need to save the rainforests as they sustain life for so many creatures,they should stop cutting it down!
Animals. It saddens me that there are so many people who think humans are superior and that we have the right to do what we want to animals…we don't own animals! (signed in as scott broomhead on FB -my hubby)
Saving the rainforests means saving the world!!
I prefer the WWF to do what they're doing now and fight for all these causes. We need to survive holistically, with the planet and wild life saved. We need to make sure the planet stays worthy of saving.
Animals…I'm an animal lover and think WWF does a brilliant job in raising awareness of endangered species
Borneo to look after the orangutans
I'd like them to look after endangered species the most. and also to try to help keep our waters clean <3
WWF love animals and the snow leopards need saving
Animals because they are becoming distinct too quickly and I love them so much!
animals – because I love them.
animals – they deserve to be fought for.
It's impossible to concentrate efforts in just one area, it all needs fixing. 🙁
Best to intervene where humans are the problem – poaching, deforestation, etc. Anything else where man is not the problem should be left for nature to decide
Poaching rhino & elephants
native plants, animals
animals
poaching & educating people how soon these animals could disappear – am particularly concerned about the use of animal parts in "medicine" or so called cures 🙁
Poaching,I think it's wrong and should be stopped
My favorite animal is the Siberian tiger, so I would love to see more protection for them in their natural habitat.
I'd like them to look at areas which, due to population growth, are going to have a lot of pressure to produce food and set up sustainable, eco-friendly projects now, rather than trying to firefight later
Animals
Deforestation and the plight of the Orangutangs, these gentle giants need our protection
More campaigning to stop humans destroying nature through deforestation, poaching, etc.
Animals and forests as they are both important
Animals and their natural habitats
The amazon, its an amazing place and needs to stop being destroyed
Animals and water. Life and quality of life are important. Water is required for life. Animals are part of nature.
animals x
it's so difficult to choose one thing over all the others! I want to see a stop to deforestation, particularly the rain forests of the world. I want to see fracking thrown out the window as it destroys landscapes, habitats and just about everything you see around you. I want to see the diverse cultures of this world honoured not abused. I want an end to religious/racial intolerance…the list is endless really…
Poaching & the trade in these products need stopping.
i would like the rain forests to be more protected because with out the forests we and all animals couldn't exist
Its to hard to choose one thing, all nature and animals are so important.
animals after a trip to india
animals to save them from extinction, and the rainforest because it could contain important things we don't know about yet – cures for disease etc
i think animals and forest, because with out the forest some animals wont live and animals because extinction is becoming more common
Forest
Animals – I think they need the most protection – mainly from people!
I think that it would be a shame for them to concentrate on one particular area as conservation requires a holistic approach. Protecting the 'cuter' species from extinction would be pointless without attention paid to the habitats and eco-systems that support them, and the support and knowledge to the local populations to help tthem thrive
I think sometime the sealife gets forgotten about
Definitely the water. It breaks my heart when I hear stories about sealife getting killed with oil, or caught up in debris.
the habitat these animals nee some were to live that is safe from humans
