WWF Annual Review 2022 - 15

THE EVIDENCE OF
OUR IMPACT ON NATURE
HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER
UNDERSTOOD AND
DOCUMENTED THAN IN
THE LAST DECADE
FREEING THE RIVERS
Most would hardly believe that there are
more fish species in the world's rivers and
lakes than in the whole of the ocean. The
83% global decline in freshwater species
populations in the last 50 years is a stark
indicator of the pressure freshwater systems
are under from pollution, overfishing and
damming. Over the years, our Free-flowing
Rivers Initiative has promoted the benefits
of maintaining the ecological integrity of
river systems, advocated against new dams
(e.g. Cambodia's historic moratorium on
hydropower dams on the mainstem of the
Mekong river) and successfully promoted
dam removals for many rivers − particularly
in Europe with a record 239 removals in 2021.
BACK FROM THE BRINK
Thanks to the vision, passion and dedication
of people stubbornly refusing to let amazing
species vanish, in the last 10 years we have
witnessed amazing comebacks. Mountain
gorillas in Central and East Africa. Pandas
in China. Indus river dolphins in Pakistan.
Bluefin tuna and some turtle populations
in the Mediterranean, and several whale
species across the ocean. Wolves and lynxes
in many parts of Europe. Tigers in India,
Nepal and Russia. So much extraordinary
wildlife, which could have disappeared,
saw signs of recovery. What a source of
inspiration and motivation to do the same
for so many other species still sliding
towards extinction.

WWF IS A
FOUNDING MEMBER
OF THE SCIENCE
BASED TARGETS
INITIATIVE -
a gold standard for
business on driving
carbon-neutral
and, from 2018, also
nature-positive
transitions.
THE HISTORIC
PARIS CLIMATE
ACCORD
comes into
force in
November. WWF is
one of the first
organizations to
call for an ambitious
1.5°C target.
