Human activities have made an unprecedented impact on the planet. Through deforestation, overexploitation of natural resources, illegal wildlife trade, infrastructure expansion and pollution, we have taken nature for granted and driven biodiversity loss and climate change. But this doesn’t have to be our legacy for future generations.
Your legacy gift will allow WWF to build on our past successes and expertise to implement long-term strategic programmes around the region. From protecting endangered species and conserving landscapes to providing environmental education to children and alternative livelihoods to local communities, you are investing in nature for the future.
You may also choose to dedicate your legacy gift to support initiatives in Singapore exclusively. In this case, we will channel your gift towards the WWFS Conservation Fund – an Institution of a Public Character managed by WWF-Singapore and administered by our Board of Trustees. To find out more about how you can make a legacy gift and/or dedicate your gift to the WWFS Conservation Fund, please refer to the following instructions and our FAQs.
