Why We Should Support WWF
People should support WWF, because wildlife is a part of our life and they inspire us. Your choices as a consumer, or a boss, or an employee, or a parent or just a caring human being can make a difference to our environment and animal nature. Even the smallest changes can help make the world a better place. Imagine if you had no voice to protect yourself, loved ones, your children. Imagine witnessing your family being slaughtered by dangerous criminals. Everyone needs to speak for these animals and help them.
