CONSERVATION RESULTS
WWF Made Huge Advances in Amazon Protection in 2005
In 2002, WWF launched the Amazon Region Protected Areas (ARPA)
initiative, which has already protected 24.7 million acres of
Brazilian rain forest with another 14.8 million set aside for
sustainable use. Last year, our biological survey of a remote
section of the Amazon and our negotiating expertise came
together in the creation of the Alto Pur?s complex in Peru. Alto
Pur?s is the final piece of an 81.5 million-acre conservation
corridor stretching for nearly 700 miles through the Amazon.
Additionally, WWF's studies formed the technical and scientific
basis for the creation of an additional 7.5 million-acre mosaic
of protected areas in Brazil. Thanks to the support of members
like you, we hope to see more great successes in the Amazon in
the years to come.

WWF Across the Continent of North America
You know that WWF is integral in protecting ecoregions around
the world, but did you also know that we help to restore
degraded ecosystems across the United States and North America
too? From helping to restore Florida's Lake Okeechobee and the
Everglades to protecting salmon spawning rivers in the Pacific
Northwest, WWF is involved in environmental projects here in the
United States as well. Two of our crowning achievements of 2005
were in Montana. We worked with our partner, the American
Prairie Foundation, to acquire 31,320 acres of land for wildlife
restoration and to reintroduce key species like American bison.
This reintroduction marked the first time genetically pure bison
lived on Montana soil since their departure 120 years ago.

Stop a Major Threat to Endangered Species
U.S. activists, it is time to let your Senators know that you
oppose a House-passed bill that would significantly undermine
the Endangered Species Act--the most important piece of
legislation protecting endangered species. The bill would
undermine protections that imperiled species have depended on
for more than 30 years. It would reduce the prospects of
restoring healthy populations of threatened and endangered
plants and animals, repeal current protections from pesticides,
weaken the scientific foundation for decision-making, and divert
scarce resources away from conservation. Join the Conservation
Action Network (CAN) today, and take action on this very
important issue!
