WWF estimates that by conserving the Global 200, it will be possible to
safeguard the future of a vast majority of the planet's biodiversity. The
Living Planet Campaign plans to mobilize global action to conserve the
Global 200 and to encourage national governments to conserve representative
examples of every important habitat type. The campaign will highlight fieldwork
that WWF is carrying out in a selection of these areas with the aim of
encouraging people to take similar action in other important endangered
spaces around the world.
All these projects, be they forest conservation initiatives in Siberia or
Madagascar, marine activities in the Mediterranean or the South Pacific,
have one element in common: an emphasis on the importance of local
communities as key stakeholders and players in implementing any conservation
activity.
