In the Malay language, orangutan means "man of the forest." Orangutans spend solitary lives in the lowland forests where they inhabit. They eat wild fruits such as lychees, mangosteens, and figs, and drink from tree holes. To sleep at night and rest during the day, they build nests in vegetation. Male orangutans can weigh up to 200 pounds as adults. Flanged males have broad cheek pads known as flanges, as well as a throat sac that allows them to emit loud verbalizations known as long calls. Unflanged males have the appearance of mature females. An unflanged male can convert to a flanged male for unknown reasons, which is a biological phenomena unique among primates.

Whales may be found in every ocean on the planet, communicating with intricate and fascinating noises. The blue whale can grow to be more than 100 feet long and weigh up to 200 tonnes, which is equivalent to 33 elephants.

Whales breathe air despite the fact that they live in the sea. They are warm-blooded mammals who nurse their young, just like humans. They are protected from the cold ocean waters by a thick layer of fat called blubber.

Baleen whales, which include blue, right, bowhead, sei, and grey whales, are classified as baleen whales. This is due to the fact that they have specific bristle-like structures (called baleen) in their mouths that strain food from the water. Other whales have teeth, such as beluga and sperm whales.

Sharks have outlived dinosaurs and many other forms of life on the planet, with fossil records stretching back 400 million years. Sharks and rays are found in approximately 1,000 different species, with new ones being discovered every year.
Overfishing has put these spectacular apex predators, which are so important to the natural order of marine ecosystems, in jeopardy. Many species are endangered, with some ray families, such as sawfishes, in particular danger. For millennia, sharks and rays have been an important resource for coastal communities in the poor world, but this delicate balance is in jeopardy.

The fashion industry is one of the top five polluting industries in the world, and its current business model puts pressure on natural resources. In the long run, the ecological footprint of the fashion industry will continue to expand and negatively impact the planet.As a global fashion hub, Hong Kong plays an important role in reducing its ecological footprint. WWF works with industry stakeholders to make Hong Kong an important part of solving this global problem.

In 'Get Your Greens', an ongoing series in line with Earth Day, British Vogue explores how the industry is advancing towards a greener future.
Sustainable fashion is a term that's increasingly used (and overused) these days, as we all become ever more aware of the serious environmental impact of our clothes. The industry is responsible for a shocking four to 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions every year - a figure that can't be overlooked considering the urgency of the climate crisis we're facing right now.

But what does sustainable fashion actually mean? In short, it's an umbrella term for clothes that are created and consumed in a way that can be, quite literally, sustained, while protecting both the environment and those producing garments. That's why cutting CO2 emissions, addressing overproduction, reducing pollution and waste, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring that garment workers are paid a fair wage and have safe working conditions, are all crucial to the sustainability matrix.

Considering the number of factors involved, there are still too few brands out there currently tackling all of these complex issues, and even those that are will admit that there's always room for improvement. This means simply shopping for items labelled "sustainable" is not enough; we need to completely rethink our purchasing habits and the way we consume clothes.

So, if you want to ensure your wardrobe is as sustainable as possible moving forward, here's everything you need to know.

Buy less and buy better

It may be a cliche, but the mantra "buy less and buy better" is key when you consider that a staggering 100 billion garments are being produced globally every year. Before making a purchase, sustainability consultancy Eco-Age 's chief strategy officer Harriet Vocking advises that you ask yourself three all-important questions: "What are you buying and why? What do you really need? Will you wear it at least 30 times?"

Invest in sustainable fashion brands

Buying better can also mean supporting designers who are promoting sustainable practices, including the likes of Ahluwalia, Connor Ives and Collina Strada, who all use upcycled textiles in their designs. Narrowing your search for specific items can also help, whether that's seeking out brands producing activewear more sustainably (such as Girlfriend Collective and Indigo Luna), swimwear (including Stay Wild and Fisch) or denim (Outland Denim and Re/Done).

Shop secondhand and vintage

With secondhand and vintage now increasingly accessible thanks to sites such as The RealReal, Vestiaire Collective and Depop, consider buying pre-loved items when looking to add to your wardrobe. Not only will you extend the life of these garments and reduce the environmental impact of your wardrobe as a result, you can also find one-of-a-kind pieces that no one else will own. Look to the likes of Rihanna and Bella Hadid - both vintage aficionados - for inspiration.

Try renting

Instead of buying a new dress for that wedding or BBQ this summer, it's now easier than ever to rent something to wear instead. According to one study, an astonishing 50 million garments are bought and worn just once every summer in the UK alone - a dirty habit we need to quickly ditch, given that the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is burned and landfilled every second.

Avoid greenwashing

As consumers become ever more aware of their environmental footprint, greenwashing - brands using vague, misleading or false claims to suggest it's more eco-friendly than it actually is - is becoming increasingly prevalent. Look beyond buzzwords such as "sustainable", "eco-friendly", "conscious" and "responsible" to see if brands have detailed policies to back up their claims.

Know your materials

Understanding the impact of materials is crucial when it comes to making more sustainable purchases. A good rule of thumb is to avoid virgin synthetics, such as polyester - which makes up 55 per cent of clothes globally - as these are derived from fossil fuels and take years to break down. Not all natural materials are made the same: organic cotton, for example, uses significantly less water than conventional cotton and doesn't use harmful pesticides.

Charity Number : 1081247

World Wide Fund for Nature (English: World Wide Fund for Nature, abbreviation: WWF), established on April 29, 1961 (when it was established, World Wildlife Fund, English: World Wildlife Fund, changed its name in 1986, but still used in the United States and Canada), whose symbol is a panda. WWF's ultimate goal is to halt and ultimately reverse the accelerated deterioration of the planet's natural environment and help create a future where people live in harmony with nature.

It is the largest environmental organization in the world, active in more than 100 countries. In 2014, 55% of its funding came from private donations, 19% from government agencies (such as the World Bank), and 8% from corporate investments.

Empowering women through community-led conservation

Helping women adapt to climate change

In many developing countries women are particularly vulnerable to climate change-for example, if water supplies dwindle due to increasing droughts, they must walk further to fetch water. They also tend to be less well educated than men and have fewer savings to help them recover from shocks. WWF works with partners to help women adapt to climate change.

In Nepal, a strong process has been developed that first empowers women who face barriers to participate actively in community adaptation processes. This includes identifying their specific climate vulnerabilities and ensuring that solutions for them are included in local climate adaptation plans. The plans are then implemented; activities can range from rainwater harvesting and improving water use efficiency, to introducing climate-adapted vegetable crops. If more intense rainfall threatens to cause landslides on degraded slopes, the sites are stabilized and restored. WWF aims to help women adapt to climate change while also building the resilience of the ecosystems that support them.

Increasing access to land and natural resources to secure livelihoods

In many developing countries women still do not have full legal rights to land or are unable to exercise their rights to land because of persistent discriminatory social norms and practices. In the remote region of Oshwe in the Salonga landscape, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the customary system remains the primary means of access to power and land for local communities. Most often, land belongs to the community or the clan. Women in Oshwe are not able to own property, are always under the control of a male member of the family, and are dependent on the right to use land as granted by husbands, fathers, brothers, or brothers-in-law-and such rights are revocable at any time. This unequal sociopolitical situation exacerbates inequalities and hardship for women trying to support their families.

In order to help secure livelihoods for the women of Oshwe, WWF-trained facilitators raised awareness among five women's associations-reaching over 150 women-on gender and on their rights in natural resource management. They accompanied them in discussions with authorities to obtain legal documents for securing community land through their officially recognized associations. Representatives of these women's associations advocated for their rights and, with WWF's support, negotiated the land title contracts with traditional chiefs and validated their decisions with regional authorities. Today, these women's associations have obtained property titles notarized by the administrative authority-allowing women to secure their community land for long-term use. This power of such official agreements means that each association can perform its sustainable agroforestry activities without fear their land rights will be revoked, and that they can secure their livelihood and contribute effectively to reducing deforestation for an unlimited time. It's a whole new level of security in their lives.

Improving health

WWF and its partners provide health support-such as improved drinking water, sanitation, nutrition and food security, and family planning and reproductive health-to people in many remote communities. By empowering women, youth, and groups facing barriers with the information and skills they need to manage water, produce food, or make household decisions, they become change agents to help improve their community's health and well-being.

One way WWF does this is to empower communities to improve their drinking water supplies, hygiene practices, and sanitation, hence reducing women's work fetching water and reducing the incidence of water-borne diseases, while also improving management of the water catchments that provide their water supplies. WWF also promotes food and nutrition security by working with small-scale farmers-a huge percentage of whom are women. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, women in developing countries account for 43% of small-scale farmers and two-thirds of all livestock keepers.

By improving their production practices, women can not only increase the food available for their families but also their purchasing power to buy a diversity of foods they cannot produce themselves. Adoption of climate-smart, environmentally sustainable agricultural practices can also contribute to improved soil quality and reduced habitat conversion.

Finally, where there is unmet family planning need, WWF takes an approach referred to as Population, Health and the Environment (PHE). Working through synergistic links between human and ecosystem health, integrated projects such as PHE, improve human well-being, help encourage sustainable use of natural resources, and promote sustained delivery of ecosystem services in the medium to long term. This, in turn, can improve community livelihoods for people today and in the future.

A 10-year program called Hariyo Ban partners with local community groups, government agencies, NGOs and the private sector to build capacity and promote strategic approaches for biodiversity conservation, climate mitigation and adaptation in Nepal.

WWF's panda logo is inspired by panda Ji Ji. Ji Ji was originally a panda gifted to the Soviet Union, but was mistaken for a male panda by the Soviet side and returned. In 1956, it was purchased from the Beijing Zoo by Austrian animal businessman Heine Demer, and then moved to the London Zoo until his death.

WWF specifically needed a logo that would cross human language and cultural barriers, be easily recognizable and make a strong impression easily. Pandas have a cute, fluffy, round body and attractive black eye rims.

The founders of WWF agreed that its image was a perfect fit for the organization's logo. The first sketches were written by British environmentalist and artist Gerald Watterson. One of the founders of WWF, Sir Peter Scott, drew the first official WWF logo on this basis. He said at the time: "We chose it because it is a beautiful and endangered species with attractive qualities that are loved by many people around the world."

WHAT THEY ACHIEVED

Due to the vast and remote nature of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, studies like this have proved challenging in the past. Analysing data from a ten-year period, for 17 different species, was a huge, but highly valuable, task.
With the help of WWF supporters, we’re one step closer to safeguarding key feeding sites in the Southern Ocean, and the wildlife that depends on them. We’re using the results of this study to identify important places needing greater protection and push for the creation of a vast network of effective marine protected areas surrounding Antarctica.
As temperatures rise in the polar regions, scientists will continue to assess the impacts using techniques like this. The more we know about Antarctic wildlife, the better we can protect it.

Creating a sustainable food system

We're fighting to reform our food system, to halt nature loss and ensure the UK leads a global transformation to sustainable production and consumption of food. This year our priorities included supporting national food strategies in the UK and a reduction of the UK footprint - particularly on soy and palm oil. And we were determined to make the most of opportunities to influence the UK's Environment Bill.

Averting dangerous climate change

In the run-up to the UN climate summit, COP26, we helped deliver powerful messages on the urgent need for world leaders to act. We pushed for the UK government to commit to creating a finance sector aligned to the Paris Agreement. We made the case for a 'net zero test' on public spending, to support a green recovery. And we developed an exciting citizen science project, Walrus from Space.

Restoring threatened habitats and species

We're working to halt the loss of habitats and restore natural life-support systems for people and wildlife in some of the world's most special places. We've supported local NGOs and indigenous groups in Brazil to strengthen monitoring and defence of their rainforest territories. We report on examples from Africa, Asia and Latin America of our support for landscape and seascape programmes and on our work with communities who live alongside wildlife, many of whom have faced increased hardship as a result of Covid-19.

Growing support

We exceeded our income target, with notable successes such as our Christmas appeal, and we've increased our active supporter numbers thanks to innovations including our award-winning My Footprint app. Find out about our new major partnerships with HSBC and Reckitt, and how we made the most of the many opportunities as we released our landmark film, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet.
