🌱 Wide-ranging conservation efforts on the ground, such as working with communities in Africa’s Kavango-Zambezi (KAZA) and Greater Virunga landscapes to promote nature-based climate solutions; supporting community efforts to declare Fiji’s Nukuvadra and Katawaqa islands as community protected areas and turtle sanctuaries; and securing extensive new protected areas around rivers in Mongolia.

🌱 The groundbreaking UN High Seas Treaty – after almost two decades of urging by WWF, there is now a legal framework for conserving marine life and restraining harmful activities in areas of the ocean beyond national jurisdiction.

🌱 The landmark new EU deforestation law, which makes it illegal for companies to place products on the EU market linked with deforestation. Hundreds of NGOs and 1.2 million people worldwide backed our campaign for a tough new law.

🌱 The first ever Global Declaration for River Dolphins − driven by WWF, the historic agreement was signed by 11 countries from Asia and South America, committing them to take urgent measures to safeguard their river dolphins and make the great rivers where they live healthier.

🌱 The launch of WWF’s Biodiversity Risk Filter − an online tool that enables companies and financial institutions to find out their impacts on nature and how much they depend on it, as well as helping them to tackle nature-related risks.

“These are achievements to be proud of, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for your involvement in our work for people and the planet. Every single contribution made by our partners, staff and supporters is both valued and a source of inspiration to us all as we look forward to the year ahead.” said Kirsten Schuijt, Director General of WWF International.
