Dear Friends,

CARTER S. ROBERTS President and CEO

Elevating the voice of diverse young people has always been important to WWF. Engagement with young conservationists continues a tradition begun many

years ago by WWF founder Russ Train, who believed the most important thing we could do for conservation was tend to the next generation of leaders. Over the past 25 years the Russell E. Train Education for Nature Program (EFN) has provided more than 2,700 grants in support of individuals and organizations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to gain the skills and knowledge needed to address conservation challenges in their home countries. EFN counts among its many outstanding grantees Laos's first primatologist and the only female game warden in Gabon.

Our Panda Ambassador program has become an incubator for young people throughout the country who are concerned about the state of the planet and want to make a difference. We've brought them to Capitol Hill to help us urge lawmakers to support funding for conservation, and featured their stories at events in front of hundreds of people.

It is the young leaders in our movement--our EFN grantees, our Panda Ambassadors, and so many more--who give me hope. We must raise our voices with theirs, and dedicate ourselves to making no small plans. Their future, and the future of the planet they'll inherit, demands no less.

As you browse the pages of this year's WWF holiday catalog, remember that your support allows us to continue elevating the next generation of conservation leaders around the world. And if you'd like to browse the catalog online, please visit . From everyone at WWF, thank you for your commitment to conservation. It makes all the difference in the world.

Sincerely,

Carter Roberts

Classifications like "endangered" and "vulnerable" have specific scientific meanings. WWF uses the standards of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

IUCN standards and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species were developed to provide a consistent, objective system for evaluating populations. While the main criterion is the measured or observed reduction in numbers, other factors include habitat loss and fragmentation, reduction in the number of mature individuals, and other environmental considerations that put species at risk.

Your donations through the WWF Gift Catalog will help our conservation efforts around the globe where the need is the greatest.

MARGARET

WILLIAMS Managing Director, Arctic Program

A PRISTINE AND IRREPLACEABLE PLACE Melting from a Warming Climate

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most special and spectacular protected areas in the Arctic.

In late June, we hiked and paddled 175 miles from the southern part of the Refuge-- home to indigenous Gwich'in people, a collective strong voice for conservation over the last several decades--to the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Last summer was the hottest on record in Alaska (and in the world, for that matter) and we experienced it first-hand.

We saw permafrost collapsing and eroding into rivers and although we didn't have a thermometer, we were certain that a couple of days must have been close to 80 degrees.

On July 1, when we reached the Arctic coast, so did a mother polar bear and two cubs. The sea ice, which in "normal" years would have been hugging the coast, was 100 miles offshore. Clearly, the bears had come from the sea after a long ocean swim, to rest and look for food.

Today climate change is taking a toll on many Arctic species. Warmer oceans mean a loss of Arctic sea ice and impacts for marine mammals and seabirds tied to the ice cycle.

While some consequences of climate change are now inevitable, there are many ways we can help wildlife to endure the difficult times ahead. First, we can foster their resilience by giving them room to roam and reducing human pressures on their habitat.

If we can keep this place intact and wild, as it has been for millennia, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will remain a place of birth, renewal and hope for both wildlife and people.

KRISTY BLY Black-footed Ferret Program Manager

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK Safeguarding Black-Footed Ferrets and Prairie Dogs

Sylvatic plague is the key threat to the survival of the endangered black-footed ferrets and their prairie dog prey. Both species are susceptible to this non-native bacterial disease, spread by fleas, that can decimate entire prairie dog colonies in just weeks. Combating it requires innovation.

There is an injectable sylvatic plague vaccine for black-footed ferrets, which is effective for an individual's lifetime. Preventing sylvatic plague in prairie dog populations is more complicated because it is not practical to protect individuals. One tool to protect prairie dogs is peanut butter flavored baits with vaccine or systemic flea control; the trick is efficiently distributing them over thousands of acres. World Wildlife Fund, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and drone manufacturer Model Avionics developed a system that delivers the baits to prairie dogs by drone or all-terrain vehicle. This innovative design--the first of its kind--was recently patented!

This invention will help protect prairie dogs against sylvatic plague over thousands of acres in the Great Plains and ensure a food source for blackfooted ferrets. In turn, this will help us reach our goal of removing the blackfooted ferret from the endangered species list.
