Species Fact Sheet: Illegal and Unsustainable Wildlife Trade
Get PDFEach year, hundreds of millions of plants and animals are caught or harvested from the wild and then sold as food, pets, ornamental plants, leather, tourist curios, and medicine. While a great deal of this trade is legal and is not harming wild populations, a worryingly large proportion is illegal ? and threatens the survival of many endangered species. With over exploitation being the second-largest direct threat to many species after habitat loss, WWF is addressing illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade as a priority issue

WWF: A Transversal Bridging Organization. Exploring the Role of WWF in the Urban Climate Governance Arena.
No full textIn the last years, a lack of trust in multi-lateral agreements has been rising, in part because of the absence of a global legally binding environmental regime, since the end of the Kyoto Protocol. The urban climate governance arena has been emerging as a much more promising scenario for climate action. Municipalities have been setting an ambitious climate agenda, planning for climate mitigation and adaptation at the local level in order to build resilient communities. This has been possible also thanks to the collaboration of municipal bodies with new, emerging non-state actors, such as bridging organizations. The role of these stakeholders has still not been defined, mapped, or institutionalized. This thesis aims to examine the role Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) is playing in the urban climate governance arena, finally providing recommendations to three audiences: namely WWF, municipalities and researchers. After producing a comprehensive literature review matrix, twenty-four interviews were carried out with relevant stakeholders, guided by pre-selected key themes derived from the literature streams. The qualitative data obtained from these semi-structured interviews were synthesized through an integrated analytical framework, built on both stakeholder mapping and middle-out theory. The key findings of this thesis have led both to a practical and theoretical contribution, by identifying WWF as a bridging organization and by contributing to an in-depth analysis of this new emerging stakeholder role

Studi Fenomenologi Akuntabilitas Non Governmental Organization WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature)
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bentuk dan praktik akuntabilitas non governmental organization (NGO) dan kondisi yang mendukung praktik akuntabilitas. NGO merupakan organisasi yang sering dikritik dan disoroti keberadaannya karena terdapat banyak permasalahan yang berhubungan dengan sektor ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi fenomenologi yang digabungkan dengan pendekatan etika deontologi. Situs penelitian dilakukan pada organisasi WWF Nusa Tenggara, menggunakan anggota organisasi dan masyarakat sebaga informan.
Berdasarkan survey dan wawancara ditemukan bukti sebagai berikut: (a) Sehubungan dengan praktik akuntabilitas anggota organisasi, ditemukan motivasi anggota menentukan keberhasilan misi organisasi yang direfleksikan oleh diri anggota. (b) Organisasi dan donatur WWF menerapkan akuntabilitas demokratis dengan memberi kesempatan kepada masyarakat menentukan keputusan melalui diskusi sebelum kegiatan kegiatan. (c) Organisasi WWF Nusa Tenggara tidak memublikasikan laporan keuangan kepada publik, kecuali laporan program. Tidak dipublikasikannya laporan keuangan oleh organisasi WWF Nusa Tenggara disebabkan mekanisme kebijakan kantor pusat. Organisasi membuat laporan keuangan dan mengirimkannya ke kantor pusat untuk dikonsolidasikan dengan laporan organisasi WWF lainnya di seluruh Indonesia, dan (d) Masyarakat tidak membutuhkan akuntabilitas pelaporan, tetapi membutuhkan akuntabilitas perilaku organisasi. Masyarakat menganggap perilaku merupakan cermin dari akuntabilitas.
Hasil kajian tersebut membawa implikasi sebagai berikut: (a) Pemahaman akuntabilitas merupakan pemahaman esensial bagi organisasi terutama organisasi non profit seperti NGO. Realitanya, di lapangan masyarakat lebih membutuhkan akuntabilitas perilaku organisasi untuk memberdayakan mereka, bukan akuntabilitas pelaporan, (b) Perlunya penerapan akuntabilitas demokratis oleh organisasi dan donatur dengan memberi kesempatan kepada masyarakat menentukan kebutuhan mereka melalui diskusi sebelum kegiatan dilakukan sehingga masyarakat mengetahui tujuan donatur dan organisasi memberdayakan mereka, dan (c) Diperlukan pemahaman etika oleh pelaku organisasi dengan mengacu pada etika deontologi yang menyatakan akuntabilitas kepada seluruh pihak merupakan sebuah kewajiban yang didasarkan niat baik pelaku

Two Degree is Too Much! Impacts of 2°C Global Warming On Antarctic Penguins
No full textThis research shows perennial Arctic ice is melting by nearly 10% a decade. It’s on course to disappear entirely by the end of the century. This means polar bears, walrus and seals living on the ice could become extinct. Many other Arctic species would also feel severe impacts. The fears of Inuit communities from Greenland to eastern Russia are also covered in the WWF report. Global warming puts traditional hunting and food-sharing at great risk." Sixty per cent of the tundra habitat of birds like ravens, snow buntings, falcons, loons, sandpipers and terns could be lost in the 2°C warming scenario. Migratory birds will lose vital staging and breeding grounds, affecting biodiversity around the world. So, two degrees? It’s too much
