Spotted in ancient forests of China. 💚

This wild giant panda was observed by rangers from 50 metres away. They managed to get some fantastic footage showing pandas’ tree climbing behaviour!

Could you be our next walrus detective? 🕵

Satellite imagery has helped scientists discover a new walrus haul-out site. And it's sparked a call for your help! 📢

To safeguard their future, we urgently need to understand how they’re affected by the climate crisis.👇

BREAKING: #COP30 ends without a deal to transition away from fossil fuels, halt deforestation, or secure a nature package.

Modest steps fall far short of what’s needed after a year above 1.5°C.

The work is more urgent than ever – and it must be delivered.
A person wearing traditional Indigenous face paint and a colorful feathered headpiece speaks into a megaphone during a protest. Text on the image reads: ‘Latest on COP30,’ ‘Breaking News,’ and ‘COP30 closes, big gaps remain,’ with a summary about world leaders leaving COP30 without major agreements.”

As hawksbill turtle nesting season ends, we’re reminded how precious these moments are. 💙

In Fiji, WWF & local communities are protecting these critically endangered turtles from threats posed by the fishing industry, even tracking their journeys for the first time. 🐢

We agree! Countries MUST press forward with greater urgency at COP30.

We need the UK to work with Brazil and others to secure a plan to end deforestation.

#COP30 must be remembered as the forest COP, so we expect the UK to back up its words with actions.

Over five years after the bushfires swept across much of Australia.

Thanks to support from the public, WWF-Australia was able to jump into action and help fund emergency #wildlife responses.

But the work didn’t stop there. Together, they’ve helped replant forests and restore habitats. 💚

The shocking truth: more money is spent on damaging forests than on restoring them. 🚩

#COP30 is our chance to turn things around.

Overshooting 1.5°C of global warming is now 'inevitable'. Yet fossil fuel emissions keep increasing. 🔥

We have the solutions, and they WORK. It's time we stop delaying climate action.

NEW IN: incredible camera trap images from the Guaviare Jaguar Corridor. 📸🐆

Over 114 species were documented by WWF Colombia & local communities in annual wildlife monitoring.

Jaguars were spotted on 22% of cameras - a paws-itive sign of their resilience in a habitat threatened by deforestation! 💚
A jaguar walking from left to right at night, its body takes up the whole frame. The pattern of its fur is lit by the camera flash. Black and white image. A tayra peering up at the bottom of the image looking into the camera lens, in a woodland setting. The image almost looks as if it's a selfie. Black and white image. A capybara’s head popping out of the water at night, facing front on to the camera, its eyes glow white in the dark. Black and White image. A puma walking through the forest at night, photographed by flash, its eyes glare white in the dark. Black and white image.

Our planet is melting before our eyes. 2024 was the hottest year on record - the first to exceed 1.5°C of warming. We face tipping points, but it’s not too late. 🌎

Across all sectors, we already have the tools to create a cleaner, safer future.

The world’s smallest elephant is under threat.💔

~60% of the Bornean elephant’s forest habitat has been lost in the past 40yrs, mainly due to logging & conversion to palm oil plantations.
But we're rooting for their success! In 2023 we set up the Elly Allies initiative to tackle habitat loss & more.
