Well it is world wetlands day, so the answer is of course “yes”! But what this means in practice isn’t always so obvious. Rivers are often neglected in water security discourses focused on economic growth. There appears to be a conceptual gap between these narratives and ecosystem services research which advocates for the protection of […]

2016 is the year sustainable food goes big. People are connecting what they eat to the planet. We are moving away from some of the long standing misconceptions, such as producing more alone will solve our problems. Increasingly we link what we eat to how it is grown to what it does to our bodies […]

The Paris Agreement is an unprecedented milestone – even if it is not perfect. For the first time, almost 200 countries have adopted a landmark deal on climate change action for all. Today we have seen international consensus that we must keep global temperature rise to well below 2°C and ideally 1.5°C. The UK’s world-leading […]

Accessibility. Close your eyes and try typing it on your keyboard. Difficult isn’t it. Do you know how to spell it? How many C’s? How many S’s? Are we all seeing double here? Consider this. 2 million people in the UK may not even see it at all. Why? Because this is the number of […]

With the release of John Lewis’ latest Christmas ad, I wanted to find out how last year’s campaign is continuing to make a difference to penguins in the Antarctic.

Still I’m always up for a challenge, even though I’m not overly techy and don’t really understand it all, I’m willing to give it […]

Here at the Living Planet Centre we have enjoyed getting creative with The Big Draw and the theme ‘Every picture tells a story’. We wanted to create an inspirational and powerful reminder about the importance of caring for our amazing planet – focusing on the coldest places on Earth – the polar regions which are […]

The trees are ablaze with colour, mist hangs in the morning air and the nights are getting longer: autumn is here. As the days and nights get colder, now is the time to check whether your home will keep you as warm as it should this winter. At WWF we’re keen on energy saving in the home […]

For someone who’s passionate about conservation photography and our wonderful wildlife, it’s an exciting time. It’s when I get to view, and judge, the best of the British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA). And this year’s WWF-sponsored Coast and Marine category didn’t disappoint. It delivered a spectacular snapshot of the incredible range of species that grace […]

Food security is a much discussed and misunderstood subject. It is complex. It is local, national, regional and global.
