mal, plant or insect disappears. If nothing is done about it, over one million species will disappear in twenty years from now.
The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead, the North Sea is following. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas.
The tropical rainforests, which are the home of half the Earths living things, are being destroyed. If nothing is done about it, they will disappear in twenty years.
Fortunately, there are people who are trying to do something about it. In 1961, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was founded - a small group of people who wanted to raise money to save animals and plants. Today, the World Wildlife Fund is a large international organization. It has raised over 35 million pounds for conservation projects, and has created or given support to National Parks in five continents. It has helped 30 mammals and birds to survive. Perhaps this is not much, but it is a start. If more people give money - and if more governments think of what is happening - perhaps the world Wildlife Fund will be able to help us to protect the natural world and all of us with it.
