  • In the United States, nearly 40 percent of food is wasted every year. Professional meetings and events significantly contribute to this problem, with uneaten delicacies and untouched platters quietly discarded after every buffet and coffee break, even though high percentages of meeting planners wish to host sustainable meetings. World Wildlife Fund collaborated with Astrapto, a sustainability consultancy, to survey meeting planners regarding their attitudes toward food waste prevention. The findings reveal a compelling narrative: most planners and their clientele acknowledge that food waste is a significant industry problem, but proactive suggestions from venues to prevent food waste remain scarce. This white paper seeks to shed light on the gap between intention and action in addressing food waste in professional gatherings.

  • The Blueprint for Credible Action on Plastic Pollution is a helpful tool both for companies initiating a new plastic strategy and those seeking to maintain leadership or expand existing strategies and plans. Companies with strategic plans in place to address plastic pollution can use the Blueprint to identify gaps in existing programs and pinpoint opportunities for expansion and collaboration.

  • The 2024 Living Planet Index (LPI) update for Migratory Freshwater Fishes unveils a startling 81% decline in monitored populations of freshwater migratory fishes from 1970 to 2020. This distressing trend is attributed to habitat loss and degradation, with factors like river fragmentation due to dams and agricultural encroachment on wetlands accounting for half of the threats. Over-exploitation exacerbates the situation, alongside rising pollution and the escalating impacts of climate change, which have relentlessly plagued freshwater migratory fish species for three decades. Beyond ecological implications, these fish are lifelines for millions, sustaining food security and nutrition for vulnerable communities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, while supporting the livelihoods of tens of millions involved in local fisheries, global trade, and the recreational fishing industry. Yet amidst this bleak scenario, there's hope. The report highlights actionable solutions, ready to be implemented by governments and communities today. It underscores the effectiveness of conservation efforts and improved management practices, emphasizing strategies such as species-focused fisheries management, habitat restoration, dam removals, establishment of conservation sanctuaries, and legal protections, laying out a pathway toward reversing this alarming decline.

  • While tiger populations have increased in some countries over the last decade, these gains are fragile, and tigers remain the world‚'s most threatened big cat. Today, there are approximately 5,574* tigers left in the wild across Asia (*GTF 2023), and those that remain are restricted to less than 6% of their historic range. Since 1850, tigers have been lost from at least 14 countries, and three of these extirpations (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam)occurred in just the last 25 years.

    As a result of poaching and the loss of important prey species, the reduction in tiger range continues; the area where tigers occur has declined by approximately 50 per cent since 1994. In order to stem the decline, much more ambitious commitments and innovations will be required. These commitments should include high level goals to reverse the centuries-long decline in tiger range and return the species to sites, landscapes, countries, and ecosystems from which they are currently absent.

    This report analyses the geographic opportunities for tiger range recovery across 30 current and former range countries, based on the relationship between tiger presence and intensity of human activity. In 15 counties, expanses of currently unoccupied but potentially suitable tiger habitat remain. Partnering with local communities to secure and increase the protection of such areas is essential to sustaining tiger recovery in the long-term.

  • Esta guia metodologica, desarrollada por WWF Per√∫ con el apoyo del proyecto Targeting Natural Resource Corruption, financiado por USAID, sirve para evaluar los riesgos de corrupcion en las cadenas de valor de las pesquerias de calamar y dorado en Per√∫. Si bien inicialmente est√° adaptada al contexto especifico del Per√∫, esta guia ofrece adaptabilidad para una aplicacion m√°s amplia en todos los sectores y contextos. Enfatiza y sugiere adaptabilidad, permitiendo a los usuarios modificar la metodologia para adaptarla a sus necesidades y circunstancias especificas, incluido cambiar el orden de las fases metodologicas, agregar m√°s pasos de recopilacion de datos o aplicar m√©todos de validacion alternativos. Esta guia proporciona una descripcion general simplificada, pero completa, del proceso de evaluacion del riesgo de corrupcion, aunque advierte que la implementacion pr√°ctica puede exigir una planificacion cuidadosa debido a su naturaleza potencialmente laboriosa. En √∫ltima instancia, esta guia sirve como un valioso punto de partida para los profesionales que buscan realizar evaluaciones similares, bas√°ndose en la experiencia de proyectos de WWF Per√∫ y organizada en torno a cuatro fases metodologicas clave, con informacion sobre las fuentes utilizadas para dise√±ar cada parte del proceso.

  • Around the world, human wildlife conflict (HWC) challenges people and wildlife, leading to a decrease in people‚'s tolerance for conservation efforts and contributing to multiple factors that drive species to extinction. HWC is a significant threat to conservation, livelihoods, and myriad other concerns and should be addressed at a scale equal to its importance. HWC will always remain a complex and layered issue, which requires integrated, holistic approaches and the involvement of all stakeholders anywhere in the world and any context in which it occurs. The ever-changing dynamic of the problem will always have to be matched with a dynamic and adjustable approach to address it. The C2C Approach is, therefore, not static and changes along with the conflict. Monitoring and adjustment will always be required for the sustainability of the approach. It provides a framework and methodology through which a tailor-made human-wildlife conflict (HWC) management strategy can be developed based on the local cultural, environmental and social context. Through a stepwise, participatory multi-stakeholder process (including those impacted by and impacting HWC), the C2C Approach promotes long-term management of HWC, while achieving short-term and intermediate results.
