Many years ago, one sunny evening, I put on the only pair of trainers I had at home and went out running. I wanted to exhaust myself, empty my head from some worrying news.

Running in the park did exhaust me, but it also helped me control with my breath, gave me a sense of focus, and the calm of the trees at sunset brought me back to the beauty that surrounds us. We are inevitably connected with our planet and protecting it is a way to protect ourselves and our future.

WWF is at the heart of global efforts to address the world’s most important environmental challenges: safeguarding the natural world, tackling climate change and enabling people to use only their fair share of natural resources. Together we can build a future where people and nature thrive.Your support is much appreciated.Find out more by visiting wwf.org.uk
