Recently, she became a Glass Explorer, working closely with Google Glass to test new ways to monitor and identify wild rhinos in Nepal. Discover how Mallas work with the Giving Through Glass program could help to advance wildlife conservation. > > > Share: > > More About Conservation in Nepal: > WWF’s Work in the Eastern Himalayas > All About Rhinos > > > > A researcher places a geo-location ear tag on a sedated polar bear. © Brutus Ostling/WWF-Canon > > Expedition to the Arctic: Little Ice, Few Mother Polar Bears > > WWF scientists spent two weeks in April on a research expedition to the islands of Arctic Norway to study polar bears and their habitat. Aboard a former icebreaker ship, they cruised along the shores of Svalbard, its snow-covered mountains flanking the shores in sharp contrast to the dark water. They endured storm-tossed seas and frigid temperatures, but were struck most by the dramatic lack of sea ice and the scarcity of mother bears with cubs. > > > > > FROM THE LATEST ISSUE OF WORLD WILDLIFE > > > The Amazon and its tributaries contain almost 20% of the river water on Earth. © WWF-US/Ricardo Lisboa > > Amazon Forever > > Journey into the worlds largest tropical forest—and a conservation initiative so big it will protect an area more than one-and-a-half times the size of California. > > > > > May Caption Contest > > Enter the WWF Photo Caption Contest, and your creative caption could be featured in next months e-newsletter. > > > > Im not worthy! > Katie S. of Waterbury, CT > April Contest Winner > > > Submit your clever caption for this photo! > > > > > It is estimated that Americans consume nearly 5 billion pounds of seafood a year. © Laura Margison/WWF > > Tell President Obama to End Illegal Fishing > > Illegal fishing is a wildlife crime driven by big profits and enabled by inadequate controls, with annual losses valued at up to $23 billion worldwide.. Unfortunately, because US laws aren’t strong enough to always trace the product back to the origin of the catch, right now we simply cannot tell if the seafood we eat is stolen from the sea through illegal fishing techniques. Help us tell President Obama you want to put an end to this by signing our petition. > > > > > > Some of the worlds best-loved species are being ruthlessly slaughtered by wildlife criminals for illegal trade. © WWF-US > > Suitcase for Survival > > Just because its for sale does not mean it is legal!
