• Why protect rare and endangered species?
  
  Protecting the world's species and their habitats lies at the heart of WWF's mission to conserve the earth's biodiversity and was the prime reason for the organisation's establishment in 1961.
  
  Whilst important in their own right, species are also critical for maintaining the fundamental balance of ecosystems. As charismatic icons, they also provide unique opportunities for promoting and communicating critically important conservation and environmental issues.
  
  
  WWF-UK
  At WWF-UK our goals are:
  to reduce threats - such as wildlife trade and habitat loss - to wild populations of 12 'flagship' species groups:
  
  Chimpanzee
  
  Elephant (Asian and African)
  
  Giant panda
  
  Golden lion tamarin
  
  Hawksbill turtle
  
  Humpback Whale
  
  Iberian lynx
  
  Mountain gorilla
  
  Orang utan
  
  Rhino (black, Sumatran, Javan and one-horned)
  
  Snow leopard
  
  Tiger
  to ensure wildlife trade does not threaten additional selected wild populations of plants and animals - including the musk deer, sharks, sturgeon, Tibetan antelope and mahogany.
