The World Wildlife Fund

The World Wildlife Fund ( The W.W.F. ) has been working hard to protect freshwater seals such as the Saimaa ringed seal, which has only 360 of them left. They are dying mostly because they can't find many snow banks. You see, the seal gives birth in a lair that they dig into the snowbanks, and if there aren't any snowbanks, then the pups are born on open ice, exposed to predators, cold an human disturbance. which means up to half of the pups could die. So what the W.W.F. does is build snow banks for the seals to increase in population. The W.W.F. is slowly progressing in this because now there is about 380, I know that it may still be a small number, but at least it is still progress.

New Zealand has lots of Beautiful plants from the small Fern to the Enormous Rimu trees! But There are just as cool and weird things in the African dessert. the Cactus for example, can survive in the dessert with an Astonishing 3 ml of water each day! Imagine how much the Cactus would have in a year! probably about 1,095 ml's!
I figured it out because I just tripled 365. Thanks for reading and make sure to leave a comment!
