The earth is rich in biodiversity with millions of different species of plants and animals. However, many species
are disappearing at an alarming rate. Biodiversity is reduced when ecosystems are modified and habitats of plants and
animals are destroyed.
Many scientists view the current wave of species extinctions as unrivaled since the disappearance of the
dinosaurs, more than 65 million years ago. Currently, around 11,000 species of plants and animals are at risk of
vanishing forever – this includes over 180 mammals.
Many species cling to survival. Found only in China, the giant panda's habitat has been decimated – the bamboo
forests where the pandas make their home are being destroyed rapidly. It is estimated that as few as 1,600 giant pandas
remain in the wild today. In the Arctic, the polar bear's icy habitat is diminishing as a result of global warming, and
its survival is at risk. And in Central and East Africa, which have endured decades of civil war, the mountain gorilla
population now totals just over 700 individuals.
If present trends continue, humanity stands to lose a large portion of its natural inheritance. Extinction is one
environmental problem that is truly irreversible – once gone, these species cannot be brought back. And the one
species that is causing this phenomenon is the same one that can stop it.
What can be done? World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the global conservation organization, has been working since
1961 to conserve the diversity of life on earth. In recent years, WWF has advanced giant panda conservation by
training more than 300 panda reserve staff and local government officials, working with the community to help save
habitat and guard against illegal hunting. By spreading awareness of the danger of carbon dioxide emissions, and by
promoting the use of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power, WWF is trying to head off the effects
of global warming, giving the polar bear a chance to survive. With the help of other organizations in Africa, WWF
has established a system to monitor the status of mountain gorillas to address potential threats.
