Description: From a group of worried naturalists in the early 1960s to one of the most recognizable conservation brands on Earth, the World Wide Fund for Nature has spent decades shaping how the world thinks about the wild. This book traces the organisation's history, from its founding and the story behind its famous panda emblem to its early rescue campaigns for endangered species and its battles to protect threatened landscapes. It also examines the science, lobbying, and diplomacy behind its influence on governments and international agreements, and takes an honest look at the funding, corporate partnerships, and controversies that have come with global reach. Drawing on the data of a changing planet, it asks what conservation has achieved, where it is struggling, and what lies ahead.
