Wildlife

Climate Change effects species above and below the waterline. A crustaceous crusader is sounding the alarm of the devastating effects climate change has on marine wildlife. An overproduction of algae due to rising sea temperatures has been poisoning the species of the deep blue. Whilst some species of crustacean adapt and thrive in some places, in others there has been a frightening decline in their numbers.

Every year, 100,000 albatrosses are killed needlessly by drowning on the end of fishing hooks. 19 of the 22 species of albatross in the world are threatened with extinction, largely because of longline fishing. If you can help us act now, the Save the Albatross campaign can help stop these magnificent birds from becoming extinct. Your money can fund the Albatross Task Force teams and their urgent work to train fishermen to keep seabirds off the hook. We need your help. To find out more, visit www.savethealbatross.net

On Borrowed Time, launched in conjunction with World Tiger Day 2011, trains a spotlight on the poaching crisis in Belum-Temengor and calls for the problem to be put on the national agenda. These forests in northern Perak are of critical importance for the conservation of tigers and other endangered species, yet research and monitoring by WWF-Malaysia and TRAFFIC Southeast Asia since 2008 have documented decimation of the wildlife by relentless illegal hunting, with little standing in poachers' way.

Joseph Okori, WWF's African rhino programme coordinator, discusses the poaching of African rhinos and the illegal trade in rhino horns. Not an isolated issue, it impacts on humans too.
