Students Ask...Experts Answer

In December 2007, The Weather Channel hosted the Forecast Earth Summit in Washington DC for Eco-Ambassadors from around the country.  At the Summit, Eco-Ambassadors, who were chosen through a national competition, met each other, learned more from environmental experts, shared their thoughts, and asked a question about the environment that concerned  them.

We have taken some of the Eco-Ambassadors' questions to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for answering.  For more than 45 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The largest multinational conservation organization in the world, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million globally. WWF's unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.
