Regretfully, after many years of support, I have cancelled my monthly Direct Debit donation to WWF and I have removed WWF from the list of nature, wildlife and conservation organisations that were confirmed as beneficiaries in my Will.
The reason is this .... The Guardian - WWF helping facilitate trade in Polar Bear fur, investigation reveals
My inevitable conclusion is that I
must line up behind and support all those conservation charities and
organisations and countries, including the UK, that support granting full protection for Polar
Bears and other wildlife under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
Should WWF change its policy stance and agree to a ban on all trophy hunting for profit, I will of course reconsider my position.
A two-year investigation has found that @WWF are lobbying for the continued international trade of polar bear fur , all while using imagery of these beautiful animals for their fundraising . Despicable .
