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. Thanks for reading and make sure to leave a comment!

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteKa pai for completing another Summer Learning Journey activity! you are doing a great job and look forward to seeing your posts come up.
Isn't what WWF are doing for the freshwater seals amazing! It is sad to hear that there are so little of them left but they are doing what they can to help them. It would be so cold being born out in the elements such as the freezing cold, I am so glad they are helping by building the snowbanks.
What other endangered animals would you like to see WWF help?
Until next time, happy blogging :)
