World Wildlife FoundationWe need to stop damaging our only life support system. A system on which we all depend. We need to share our world with all the other species that live on it. Respectfully. Harmoniously. And we must stop being the cause of their disappearance. Their extinction. We must learn to live with what natural resources are available to us. Our planet. It's all we've ever had, and it's pretty much all we've got left. Yet we already consume more than our planet can sustainably provide. And by 2050 we'll need the output of 2 Earths if we're going to continue living as we do now.
