Climate change is subjecting our planet to unsustainable pressures. Forests and trees trap and store carbon as they grow – standing at the frontline against climate change. Join us in celebrating the International Day of Forests on 21 March.

@WWF and @Nokia - Ten years of partnership
WWF and Nokia have had a global partnership in place since 2003. The cooperation initially started with raising environmental awareness of Nokia employees and has evolved over the years to diverse areas including jointly developed projects for using mobile technology in conservation work, as well as publishing WWF branded mobile content to raise environmental awareness to the consumer.
Nokia and WWF have worked together for almost 10 years now and the parties agreed to continue the cooperation again in 2012. By working together Nokia and WWF aim to further strengthen Nokia's environmental performance and find ways to raise environmental awareness by using mobile phones. Nokia will also continue to support WWF's conservation work.

HOME a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand / @Yann_A_B
HOME has a very clear message. We have a greater impact on the Earth than it can bear. We over-consume and are depleting the Earth's resources. From the air, it's easy to see the Earth's wounds. So, HOME simply sets out our current situation, while saying that a solution exists.
The film's subtitle could be It's Too Late To Be A Pessimist. We have reached a crossroads; important decisions must be taken to change our world. Everybody knows about what the film says, but nobody wants to believe it. So HOME adds its weight to the argument of environmental organizations that we need to revert to a more commonsensical approach and change our consumer way of life.
This visually dramatic special illustrates the planet's fragile state entirely from a birds-eye view in stunning high definition. With spectacular aerial views from more than 50 countries, viewers will see the extent of human impact on our landscapes. And not a moment too soon: In the past 50 years -a single lifetime - the Earth has been more radically changed than by all previous generations of humanity.
