Welcome to the latest issue of Conservation Pulse, with our usual news on the work of WWF and our many partners around the world.
Before you read on, we would like to alert you to the publication by WWF of an important new report. Last year, WWF commissioned an independent panel of experts to review how we were responding to reports of human rights abuses by some government rangers in complex and remote landscapes in Central Africa, India, and Nepal. Embedding Human Rights in Nature Conservation - from Intent to Action is the resulting report.
A tough and unbiased evaluation of our efforts, the Independent Review recognized steps our teams have taken to support communities in the places it reviewed but also identified important areas of improvement. We urge you to learn more about the panel’s recommendations and how we are addressing each of them.
