WWF - Greater Mekong
The unprecedented social and economic development of the Greater Mekong makes conservation work here especially urgent and significant. WWF’s work spans many issues including species conservation, sustainable forestry and non-timber-forest product management, climate change adaptation, and the sustainable use of freshwater resources, including hydropower development. WWF supports a ten-year delay in the approval of lower Mekong river mainstream dams to ensure a comprehensive understanding of all the impacts of their construction and operation.

Pangolins are scaly ant-eating mammals that live in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Poaching for illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss have made these extraordinary creatures one of the most endangered mammal groups in the world. SavePangolins.org is here to raise awareness of an unsustainable trade that is quietly driving pangolins towards extinction, and to support the efforts of conservationists working hard to save them. By learning about pangolins and the threats facing them, and supporting the efforts of conservationists working to protect them, you can help to save pangolins. > SavePangolins T-shirts now available to buy! 100% of profits go to support pangolin conservation. 2009 proceeds were donated to Wildlife Alliance to support their work in Cambodia’s Cardamom mountains.
