Development threatens Malaysia's spectacular Tioman Island

One of Malaysia's renowned dive sites - home to endangered giant clams, coral reefs, whale sharks and more - is now under threat from plans to build a marina and extend an airport runway.

If the development goes ahead, it would not only defy Tioman's status as a nationally protected marine park, but wipe out the underwater treasures that are of huge value to Tioman's tourism industry. Read more

Take Action NOW
Send an email now to Malaysia's Minister for Transport

Illegal logging campaign success

Thanks to your efforts, Bauhaus AG, one of Europe's leading 'Do it Yourself' retailers has made a major commitment to protecting our forests!

Over the past months, Passport holders sent 8,000 messages to Bauhaus AG, urging the company to show leadership to help stop destruction of pristine forests.

These messages resulted in constructive meetings between WWF and Bauhaus AG, and the company has now agreed to:

- work systematically on excluding illegal wood and wood from primeval forests from their products

- closely monitor all their products to ensure their origin is known and legality is assured

- explore further cooperation with WWF, and consider joining WWF's forest and trade network.

This success would not have been possible without your help. Read more

We're happy to announce that the winner is Robert Borg from Malta. We'll be sending Robert, a Passport campaigner level 13, his new table shortly.

Thanks to Robert and all of you who took action on this successful campaign!
