The past six months have been a time of major conservation achievements for WWF. Years of effort have yielded important breakthroughs, including Nepal’s historic decision to transfer the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area to community management, and the tri-national agreement between Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands to better protect the endangered leatherback marine turtle.
From the Amazon to the Southern Ocean, we have also seen vast new protected areas come into place.
With our partners, and thanks to the generosity of our many supporters, WWF efforts are producing exciting and important results.
This has also been a time of tragic loss for WWF. Seven extraordinary colleagues — Dr Chandra Gurung, Dr Harka Gurung, Yeshi Choden Lama, Jennifer Headley, Jill Bowling Schlaepfer, Matthew Preece and Mingma Norbu Sherpa — lost their lives in a helicopter crash in Nepal. They live on in our memories, and we have created a Living Memorial Fund for the Eastern Himalayas to ensure that their dreams for conservation in that region will also endure.
