CONSERVATION RESULTS
A Year of Green Recovery in China's Panda Country
One year ago this week an earthquake devastated southwest China's
Sichuan Province. WWF's response to the disaster was immediate,
working with first-responders in affected areas to meet urgent human
needs. And, as soon as conditions allowed, WWF and our partners
undertook a comprehensive survey of the damaged giant panda habitat in
Sichuan. More than 40 rangers and researchers trekked through steep
mountain slopes and dense forest trails, braving possible aftershocks
and landslides. The team found signs of live pandas, but confirmed
that there was widespread damage to their habitat. Find out how WWF
has been active in this region over the past year, helping people and
pandas.

Simple, Powerful Change
Designed to inspire innovative ideas for environmentally friendly
fishing gear, WWF has launched the fourth International Smart Gear
Competition! The search is on for new designs for fishing devices that
reduce bycatch, real-world fishing solutions that allow fishermen to
fish "smarter" by better targeting their intended catch while
safeguarding the dolphins, sea turtles and other marine life often
caught unintentionally. Think you have the next $30,000 idea? Learn
more about the competition and the challenge of bycatch.

TAKE ACTION
Help Save the Western Gray Whale
The western gray whale is on the verge of disappearing. Thought
to be extinct in the 1970s, a small number--around 130--are now known
to survive. Unfortunately, the western gray whale's main feeding
habitat, located near the Russian Far East's Sakhalin Island, is now
under threat from the oil and gas industry. Find out how you can help
give a voice to these majestic creatures.

Wild Things Podcast: Stories from the Front Lines of Conservation
Ever wonder what a melting iceberg sounds like to a fish? What

Nielsen--whose work you might know from his 19 years at

China's Sichuan Province. WWF's response to the disaster was immediate, wo=
rking with first-responders in affected areas to meet urgent human needs. A=
nd, as soon as conditions allowed, WWF and our partners undertook a compreh=
ensive survey of the damaged giant panda habitat in Sichuan. More than 40 r=
angers and researchers trekked through steep mountain slopes and dense fore=
st trails, braving possible aftershocks and landslides. The team found sign=
s of live pandas, but confirmed that there was widespread damage to their h=
abitat. <A style=3D"font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 13px; font-wei=
