Spring 2026
In this issue of World Wildlife, instead of reading about far-flung locations, you’ll discover WWF’s work right here in the US—spurring innovation in farming, returning bison to their ancestral homes, addressing threats to the Rio Grande, and taking on food waste in schools.
We chose to focus on the US to celebrate multiple milestones: 2026 marks the country’s 250th anniversary, there are 50 states in the US, and this is World Wildlife magazine’s 50th issue. See the full list of articles below.
