About the WWF
The WWF was initially founded in 1961 as the World Wildlife Fund but is now known around most of the world as the World Wide Fund for Nature.
The WWF is the largest conservation fund in the world and works in over 100 countries around the globe.
The funds aim, as can be seen, depicted on the 50p coin design is to promote a planet whereby nature can live in harmony with humans.
The idea to have the WWF Giant Panda logo actually originated from a Panda named Chi Chi which housed at London zoo and was extremely well known because it was the only specimen living at the time in the western part of the world.
Being black and white the animal logo work well in black and white print which was more common at the time. The same can be said for how good it looks on a coin too.
It seems every year more than ever that the importance of nature organisations like the WWF are becoming more and more relevant and significant to our future and that of our future generations with the need to tackle its aims of:
- Preserving biological diversity,
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Reducing pollution
- Tackling climate change.
As recently as 2020 the WWF was named as the partner for Prince Williams Earthshot Prize.
