WWF, in full World Wide Fund for Nature, international organization committed to conservation of the environment. In North America, it is called the World Wildlife Fund.
In 1960, a group of British naturalists - most notably biologist Sir Julian Huxley, artist and conservationist Peter Scott, and ornithologists Guy Montfort and Max Nicholson - led an effort to establish an organization that protected endangered species and their habitats. The following year the World Wildlife Fund was founded; the international name was subsequently changed to World Wide Fund for Nature in 1989, although in the United States and Canada it retained the founding name. The organization's distinctive panda logo was created by Scott. In the face of growing environmental threats over the ensuing years, the WWF's activities expanded in scope. Today its mission statement is threefold: to conserve the world's biological diversity, to ensure that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and to promote the reduction of pollution and of wasteful consumption. The organization has long included both conservationists and businesspeople with the intention of combining solid scientific data with well-managed action. It also seeks cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and local populations. The WWF works closely with the World Conservation Union and has formed partnerships with the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.
The WWF provides money for conservation initiatives around the world. These include programs focused on individual species, forests, and freshwater and marine issues as well as climate change and responsible international trade. The group has also been involved in efforts to provide a safe and sustainable habitat for the world's peoples, both urban and rural, including clean water, clean air, healthful food, and rewarding recreation areas. Among the WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in which an organization buys some of a country's foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap took place in 1987 in Ecuador.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more than five million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more than 90 offices around the world.

WWF, trực thuộc Quỹ Bảo vệ Thiên nhiên Thế giới, tổ chức quốc tế cam kết bảo tồn môi trường. Ở Bắc Mỹ, nó được gọi là Quỹ Động vật hoang dã Thế giới.
Năm 1960, một nhóm các nhà tự nhiên học người Anh - đáng chú ý nhất là nhà sinh vật học Sir Julian Huxley, nghệ sĩ và nhà bảo tồn Peter Scott, cùng các nhà điểu học Guy Montfort và Max Nicholson - đã nỗ lực thành lập một tổ chức bảo vệ các loài có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng và môi trường sống của chúng. Năm sau Quỹ Động vật hoang dã Thế giới được thành lập; tên quốc tế sau đó được đổi thành Quỹ Bảo vệ Thiên nhiên Thế giới vào năm 1989, mặc dù ở Hoa Kỳ và Canada nó vẫn giữ nguyên tên sáng lập. Logo gấu trúc đặc biệt của tổ chức được tạo ra bởi Scott. Trước những mối đe dọa môi trường ngày càng tăng trong những năm sau đó, các hoạt động của WWF đã mở rộng phạm vi. Ngày nay, tuyên bố sứ mệnh của nó gồm ba phần: bảo tồn sự đa dạng sinh học của thế giới, đảm bảo rằng việc sử dụng bền vững các nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên có thể tái tạo và thúc đẩy việc giảm ô nhiễm và tiêu thụ lãng phí. Tổ chức này từ lâu đã bao gồm cả các nhà bảo tồn và doanh nhân với mục đích kết hợp dữ liệu khoa học đáng tin cậy với hành động được quản lý chặt chẽ. Tổ chức cũng tìm kiếm sự hợp tác giữa các tổ chức phi chính phủ, chính quyền địa phương và người dân địa phương. WWF hợp tác chặt chẽ với Liên minh Bảo tồn Thế giới và đã thiết lập quan hệ đối tác với Liên hợp quốc, Ngân hàng Thế giới và Liên minh Châu Âu.
WWF cung cấp tiền cho các sáng kiến bảo tồn trên toàn thế giới. Chúng bao gồm các chương trình tập trung vào từng loài, rừng, các vấn đề nước ngọt và biển cũng như biến đổi khí hậu và thương mại quốc tế có trách nhiệm. Nhóm cũng tham gia vào các nỗ lực cung cấp môi trường sống an toàn và bền vững cho người dân trên thế giới, cả thành thị và nông thôn, bao gồm nước sạch, không khí sạch, thực phẩm lành mạnh và các khu giải trí bổ ích. Một trong những thành tựu đáng chú ý của WWF là việc sử dụng hoán đổi nợ lấy thiên nhiên, trong đó một tổ chức mua một số khoản nợ nước ngoài của một quốc gia với giá chiết khấu, chuyển đổi tiền sang nội tệ và sau đó sử dụng nó để tài trợ cho các nỗ lực bảo tồn. Vụ hoán đổi nợ lấy thiên nhiên thành công đầu tiên của WWF diễn ra vào năm 1987 tại Ecuador.
Vào đầu thế kỷ 21, WWF đã hoạt động ở hơn 100 quốc gia và có hơn 5 triệu người ủng hộ. Trụ sở quốc tế của tổ chức đặt tại Gland, Thụy Sĩ và có hơn 90 văn phòng trên khắp thế giới.

In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music, They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs, Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out Throughout the world many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
What is not true about the Beatles?
