Make a difference by joining our activist community

People in the US spend more than seven hours a day online—consuming news and entertainment, connecting with friends, and sometimes doomscrolling. But WWF offers a better way to use that time.

“WWF’s Action Center is a hub where supporters can take simple, meaningful actions to influence key conservation issues,” says WWF’s Jessica Lazarus. Recently, for example, nearly 700,000 WWF-US activists contacted their elected representatives to urge Congress to pass the Big Cat Public Safety Act—part of WWF’s decades-long efforts to regulate captive tiger ownership in the US. After that campaign, the act was signed into law.

In addition, activists can participate in in-person events such as WWF’s annual Lobby Day. Last March, 85 participants held 80 meetings with congressional offices in support of continued funding for US international conservation programs. WWF also offers programs like Panda Ambassadors for dedicated activists looking for leadership opportunities in conservation.

Greg Griff, a Panda Ambassador, has seen firsthand how one person’s actions can have a multiplying effect. “When I wrote a pangolin conservation op-ed for my local newspaper, it opened my eyes to how impactful my actions can be,” he says. “So many people reached out to me about how my work inspired them to learn about pangolins and donate to the cause!”
