#WorldRangerDay: What does it take to be a Forest Ranger?

This World Ranger Day, we ask what keeps our rangers going?Being a #ranger is a courageous and heroic job, but it is no easy feat. Not only is the job physically demanding, it is also filled with difficulties and risks. WWF's Forest Ranger Sin Satha shares how he finds his work rewarding!© PDoE / WWF-Cambodia Chheng SamboAs the chief of rangers in Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia, Mr. Sin Satha and his team spend days and nights patrolling the forest—struggling through thorny shrubs, scorching heat, and blasting thunderstorms—to look for snares and crack down on forest offenders.Intense emotional challengesIn 2019, Satha saw a Banteng for the first time in his life—but it was caught in a snare. You can imagine how heartbreaking this sight is to rangers like Satha and his team. Althoug

Happy #GlobalTigerDay !

India, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve_©Shutterstock _ PhotocechCZ _ WWF-InternationalToday marks a very special #GlobalTigerDay in the #YearoftheTiger! The TX2 goal is a global commitment to double the world's wild tigers by 2022. From a population of perhaps 100,000 a century ago, wild tiger numbers hit an all-time low of as few as 3,200 in 2010. That same year, all 13 tiger range governments came together for the first time at the St Petersburg Summit where they committed to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Chinese Year of the Tiger. WWF played a critical role in creating a shared vision for tiger conservation by committing to the same goal.Here we are, 12 years later and it’s exciting to

Why Tigers? A talk by WWF Tiger Lead

The Disappearing Big CatHave you ever wondered why we should protect tigers? Tigers and forests are intrinsically linked. As apex predators, tigers are a sign of a broader, healthy forest ecosystem. Saving tigers means saving critical habitats of thousands of species, where 800 million people in Asia depend on. In addition to that, healthy forests also store carbon and help mitigate climate change!With Global Tigers Day approaching around the corner, WWF-Singapore and Tiger Brokers will be bringing you a live talk by Stuart Chapman, the Tigers Alive Initiative Lead about The Disappearing Big Cat.The Disappearing Big Cat by Stuart ChapmanJoin us on August 2, 7-8PM SGT via this link:

It's Food Loss and Waste Day! #FLWday

Did you know that saving 1/3 of our food that goes uneaten can save 11,113TWh of energy? That’s enough energy to power over 1 BILLION homes for A YEAR 🤯 Food for thought as energy bills increase!When food is wasted, so are the natural resources that went into producing it - so saving more than 1/3 of food that goes uneaten helps nature as well as your bank balance.In addition, producing food releases methane into the atmosphere, but there are many more avoidable methane emissions from food systems - like those from rotting food. Methane is 28 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide and is responsible for 30 - 50% of the warming we experience today.One of the simplest ways to tackle climate change is to stop wasting food.Join our efforts on #FLWday to accelerate and intensify action to l

Help save the critically endangered Pangolins from Illegal Wildlife Trade

Most of us regard Singapore as a safe country with consistently low crime rates. But did you know that the 5th largest seizure of pangolin products in Asia happened right here in Singapore? In 2019, Singapore seized around 35 tonnes of pangolin scales, which is an estimate of 40,000 pangolin lives lost.Despite efforts made by the authorities, Singapore’s position as a major transit hub makes it a potential route for illegal wildlife trade. Enforcement authorities often find illegal pangolin products misdeclared and/or heavily concealed in the cargo.Seizure of the illegal trade of pangolin scalesImproving key wildlife legislations is essential to clamp down the trade.

Banteng, endangered wild cattle, reclaims range in Thailand

Fifty years ago, banteng, a globally endangered wild cattle and preferred prey for tigers, would have been found grazing throughout Thailand’s Mae Wong National Park. Banteng in Mae Wong National Park, Thailand However, by the 1970s logging and poachers arrived in Mae Wong National Park and banteng numbers here began decreasing, eventually disappearing from the protected area altogether within the decade. The loss of banteng in Mae Wong National Park was devastating and had knock on effects for other wildlife in the area such as tigers who rely on them as a source of food. For decades it was hoped that Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, which connects to the south and holds the largest remaining banteng population in Thailand, would one day begin to repopulate Mae Wong National Park.

LIFE ON EARTH IS UNDER THREAT Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, provides us with services essential for human well-being such as clothing, food, and medicines. But we are losing it at an alarming rate. The latest Living Planet Report 2022, WWF's flagship publication of a comprehensive study of trends in global biodiversity and the planet's health, reveals an average decline of 69% in species populations since 1970. While conservation efforts are helping, urgent action is required to reverse nature loss.
