“The more than 100 globally significant conservation actions recognised by WWF as Gifts to the Earth represent huge achievement. As important, they highlight the goodwill and readiness of the international community to take up the environmental challenge and make lasting conservation commitments. This simple idea has inspired conservation actions on a scale WWF could not have predicted, and give hope that together we can leave our children a living planet”. Former WWF International Director General, Jim Leape
