Dear OBers,
OBC member Paul Jepson has asked us to post the following message:
I am writing to ask if you would consider signing an on-line petition to save the BBC Wildlife Fund. The fund was launched in 2007 and has raised nearly £3million and supported 87 conservation projects worldwide.
The BBC is planning to close the fund and one reason seems to be that at a time of financial cuts the BBC needs to focus its resources on programme making and delivery. My view is that the BBC WF is one way that the wildlife film industry ‘gives back’ – if you like pays for the ecosystem services that it uses to make its wonderful programmes. It would be a great shame if this link was broken at a time when colleagues working on front-line conservation projects are finding it harder and harder to secure the funds they need to operate.
The petition is at http://www.savebbcwildlifefund.net/
