How About A Nice Cup of Tea?

Rhinos, tigers and elephants are some of the most beautiful, majestic creatures on Earth. Yet their survival is being threatened by a poaching crisis in Africa and increased levels of organised crime involved in illegal wildlife trade. Read WWF’s new Wildlife Crime Scorecard – which shows which countries are protecting species, and which aren’t. Also this month: a great new app to help you explore London’s watersides, and how you can support WWF with a nice cup of tea...


WWF’s new Wildlife Crime Scorecard shows that many countries aren’t doing enough to protect endangered species like rhinos, tigers and elephants. The report rates 23 Asian and African countries’ efforts to stop poaching and trafficking in ivory, rhino horn and tiger parts. Vietnam - identified in the report as the top destination country for rhino horn - is one or the worst performers, while India and Nepal were two of the best. Read the results of our Wildlife Crime Scorecard and learn how we’re fighting the illegal wildlife trade – and how you can help.

There’s nothing better than a nice cup of tea. Except tea that supports WWF, of course. To celebrate 10 years of creating delicious organic blends, Pukka Herbs will donate 20p from each pack of its new Peppermint and FairWild Licorice tea to WWF, supporting conservation projects worldwide. WWF members will get a free sample in September’s Action magazine. It’s all part of Pukka’s campaign to create a beautiful world. Be part of it by uploading photos and videos of your own, personal “beautiful world” to Pukka’s website. The best entries will be included in a national film early next year.
