Ecological Treasures is not related to WWF. However, we
strongly support what they are trying to do and how they
are going about it.
"Since those early
days WWF has grown up to be one of the largest
environmental organizations in the world.
Currently there are more than 1300 WWF
conservation projects underway around the world. The
vast majority of these focus on local issues. They range
from school nature gardens in Zambia, to initiatives
that appear on the packaging in your local supermarket.
From the restoration of orangutan habitats to the
establishment of giant panda reserves.
Almost all our work involves partnerships. We team
up with local non-profit agencies and other global NGOs.
We form relationships with village elders, local
councils and regional government offices. And in this
day and age of globalization, critically, we work with
businesses who are willing to change."
