FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET, AND US
A world where nature thrives and people live in harmony is the future we all imagine. But, are 60 minutes enough to bring a positive change? Can an hour change the world?
Well, it’s a start, and it is up to us to unite to create the Biggest Hour for Earth. Sixty minutes of Earth Hour can unite millions across the globe to join in solidarity for what we all have and what we stand to lose.
Earth Hour aims to be an unmissable global reminder of the importance of our planet, the need to protect it, and how little time we have to do so. Together, let’s shine the spotlight on nature loss and climate change. This Earth Hour, let’s harness and celebrate the power of people.
Support WWF-India to go beyond the hour, and help secure a brighter future for people and the planet.
YES, I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY
HOW WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE
TIGER CONSERVATION -
A GLOBAL SUCCESS STORY
WWF India began tiger conservation in the early 1970s by providing support to Project Tiger - the first-ever tiger conservation programme of the Govt. of India. In 1990s, WWF India initiated a focused Tiger Conservation Programme & currently works in six tiger landscapes: Terai Arc, Sundarbans, Central India, Brahmaputra, Western Ghats - Nilgiris and Western India Tiger Landscapes.
SAVING OUR
RIVERS & WETLANDS
Freshwater environments include rivers, lakes, wetlands, streams and underground aquifers. Freshwater is crucial for sustenance of life on the planet. WWF India’s River for Life, Life for River programme is aimed at ensuring ecological integrity of rivers and their associated ecosystems, and sustainable water management. This is helping improve the population and habitats of endemic and endangered aquatic species like Gangetic dolphins, gharial, otters, golden mahseer fish and turtles.
MITIGATING
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is the biggest environmental crisis of our time. Many species will face extinction due to global warming. WWF India is working to generate awareness about clean and efficient energy solutions, climate innovations and mobilizing communities to come together and take collective action reversing climate change.
CONSERVING
MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
