A new survey of migratory monarchs at their wintering habitat shows a 69% increase in the area they occupied this winter in relation to last year’s winter. Yet this is still the second smallest area occupied by these butterflies in Mexican sanctuaries since 1993.

This study summarizes the experiences of the four main multilateral adaptation funds providing financial resources to support resilience and adaptation measures in vulnerable developing countries.

Today, we use the natural resources of 1.5 planets, depleting ecological goods and services faster than nature can replenish them. This is having a huge impact on nature and people, and threatening our very future. Better production will be vital if 9 billion people are to share this planet and its resources, equitably and sustainably, in the coming decades.

This factsheet provides an overview of the Wildlife Crime Technology Project, which focuses on research, development and implementation of a suite of technologies to detect and deter poaching. This work was made possible through a Global Impact Award from Google in 2012.

The future of the world’s forests depends greatly on the actions of US companies. They have tremendous purchasing power to support responsible forestry and trade globally, as well as to eliminate the market for unsustainable and illegal wood. Read this publication to learn more about how WWF and US companies are collaborating to save the world’s forests.

As one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of forest products, the United States plays a key role in deterring illegal logging and associated trade. Illegal logging disadvantages US companies that produce and sell legally sourced forest products. Traders of illegal timber can flood the market with cheap products, creating an unlevel playing field. The Lacey Act is important in maintaining a fair market in which responsible US companies can compete.

WWF investigated the trade flow of illegal and legal crab harvested from Russian waters throughout the North Pacific to better understand the likelihood of US importation of illegally harvested Russian crab, as well as conservation concerns associated with overharvest of crab from Russian waters.

This assessment is one in a series resulting from a WWF study that assesses the vulnerability of numerous species to the effects of climate change. These trait based assessments assess climate vulnerability based on the sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and exposure of the species, as well as other threats that the species faces. For each species, we also recommend climate-adaptive management strategies.
