WWF works to conserve species at risk, protect threatened habitats and address global threats. Using the best available scientific knowledge, we work to preserve the diversity and abundance of life in Canada and around the world. We find long-term solutions that benefit both people and nature.
By 2050, there will be 9 billion human beings on the planet. In the midst of this growth, a new global middle class is emerging--bringing millions of people out of poverty and opening unprecedented economic opportunity. With development comes demand--for food, water and energy. In fact, over the next 40 years, it’s anticipated that there will not only be 3 billion more of us, but--on average-- we'll each double the amount we already consume. The problem is, we still only have one planet’s worth of water and land. The Earth isn’t going to get bigger to sustain us. We’re going to have to do more with less. We need a way to live within the planet’s means.
