WHY WWF?
WWF is led by the same people
who are destroying the global ecosystem
Why would WWF help companies in this way? Because it is run by the companies themselves. Since WWF was set up in 1961 by Prince Philip and Prince Bernhart of the Netherlands it became an elitists organizations populated by some of the richest people in the world, from industrialists and corporate executives, philanthropists and ultra-conservative (eco-fascists) environmentalists.
The white corporate elite has shaped WWF work according to their interests in the industrial and financial corporate sector: a huge conflict of interests. Even though over the years WWF board members and senior management staff have changed, to this day this funding “elitist club” has some degree of influence on the strategy of the organization.
Since 2014 the boards of directors and management of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have included people from General Motors, BP, Unilever, an agribusiness company, several airlines, De Beers and other mining companies, Nestlè, Coca Cola and numerous other corporations.
