WWF-UK from its foundation in 1961 to 1982, International

WWF is dedicated to stopping the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and building a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by:conrving the world’s biological diversity, ensuring that the u of renewable natural resources is sustainable, promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
WWF has a factual, science-bad approach to conrvation, which focus on six priority issues of global concern: forests, oceans and coasts, fresh water, endangered species, and the insidious threats of toxic chemicals and climate change. For each of the issues, WWF has developed measurable targets and runs more than 1,200 field projects around the world in any year.

animals are spread relatively evenly throughout the various

cows or goats than each other. There are many different species of antelope, ranging in size from tiny to very big. They typically have a light and elegant figure, slender, graceful limbs, small cloven hoofs, and a short tail. Antelope have powerful hindquarters and when startled they run with a peculiar bounding stride that makes them look as though they are bouncing over the terrain like a giant rabbit. Some species of antelope can reach speeds of 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour), making them among the fastest of land animals.
IV. Elephant
Elephantidae (the elephants) is the only extant family in the order Proboscidea. Elephantidae has three living species: the Savannah Elephant and Forest Elephant (which were collectively known as the African Elephant) and the Asian Elephant (formerly known as the Indian Elephant). During the period of the ice age there were
more species, which are now extinct.
coincideElephants are the largest living land mammals. At

birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 100
kg (225 pounds). It takes 20 to 22 months for a baby
elephant to mature to birth, the longest gestation period of any land animal. An elephant may live as long as 60 to 70 years. The largest elephant ever recorded was a male shot in Angola in 1974, weighing 12000 kilograms or 26400 pounds.
Prehistoric human beings have been known to eat elephants, as recent findings of animal remains in central China show. The elephant is now a protected animal, and consumption is prohibited around the world.

V. Monkey
A monkey is any member of two of the three groupings of simian primates. The two groupings are the New World and Old World monkeys. Becau of their similarity to monkeys, apes such as chimpanzees and gibbons are sometimes incorrectly called monkeys. Also, a few monkey species have the word “ape.” in their common name. Becau they are not a single coherent group, monkeys do not have any important characteristics that they all share and are not shared with the remaining
group of simians, the apes.
Monkeys range in size from the Pygmy Marmot, at 10 cm (4
inch) long (plus tail) and 120 g (4 oz) in weight to the male
Mandrill, almost 1 metre (3 ft) long and weighing 35 kg (75
lb). Some are arboreal (living in trees), some live on the
savanna; some eat fruit, some eat leaves, and some eat incts;
although most have tails (sometimes prehensile), others do not;
some have trichromatic colour vision like that of humans, others are dichromats or monochromats. Although both the new and old world monkeys, like the apes, have forward facing eyes, the faces of Old World and New World monkeys look very different. To understand the monkeys, therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the different groups individually.
