Rhinos crashing into your inbox!🦏 

Posted On // Leave a Comment

Dear Supporter, here's a taster of our work for people and nature this coming month:


Did you know a group of rhinos is called a CRASH? We all know about their unique look – their massive bodies, stumpy legs, and one or two horns. But perhaps less well known is that rhinos were once found across Europe, Asia and Africa.

Unfortunately, threats such as poaching, habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade and more are pushing them towards extinction. With World Rhino Day coming up on 22nd September, find out how you can help, and what WWF is doing to secure the future of rhinos.

Climate & Energy: Zero Emissions Day

Close your eyes and imagine the future - what do you think the world will be like for humankind, and all our amazing wildlife?

With Zero Emissions Day coming up on 21 September, there's no better time to remind ourselves of the need to move to a world powered by clean technology – and help safeguard both people and nature. The solutions to prevent dangerous climate change have arrived - and now it's up to us to power our planet towards a brighter, renewable future. 

Find out how WWF is working to achieve our goal of a climate-resilient and zero-carbon world, and what you can do to reduce your impact on the planet.

 Freshwater: Sturgeons 

The only thing most people know about sturgeons is that they produce caviar. But these extraordinary freshwater fish are also 200 million years old and used to swim alongside the dinosaurs!

However, 85% of sturgeon species are now endangered – mainly due to illegal fishing and the impact of dams. This month, the 8th International Symposium on Sturgeons will be taking place in Vienna, and WWF will be launching a new global strategy to conserve them.

Discover how WWF is currently working to save sturgeons, particularly in Europe where the remaining species face extinction.
