The World Wide Fund Organization Conveys Visualization

Global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods; our planet is warming up and we are definitely part of the problem. However, this isn’t the only environmental problem that we should be concerned about. All across the world,

Stopping the degradation of the planet´s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony and peace with nature, it is the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) fundamental mission. In order to accomplish this difficult task, effective persuasion methods have to be used. The WWF has to make humans feel empathy and responsibility for their planet´s health in order to be successful. A website addressing all the problems along with statistics is an exceptional way to achieve it. The Polar Bears section of the WWF´s website will be analyzed with the intention of demonstrating the audience how the author uses the rhetorical elements of pathos, logos, and ethos.

The most important stakeholder in the this issue are animals, as they are currently facing the most lethal impacts of climate change. And one very important group that has been working very hard to deal with environmental issues is the Climate Action

Al Gore included various examples of logos in his documentary. Logos was necessary to convince the viewers that Global warming was a real threat. One excellent example was the chart that compared CO2 and temperature. It was a well-placed example because it demonstrated the established relationship between CO2 and average temperature, and their pattern of increase. By including graphs and relating the graph’s importance to our daily lives, it grabbed our attention and showed how important it was to fix our habits.

The smoke coming from the factory in the poster is shaped like a hurricane; a foreshadowing of what will be a result of global warming in the future. In the second poster, a waddle of penguins is portrayed traveling across a dry desert, which was used to interest an audience focused on the effects of global warming on the environment and animals. While the first poster’s image focused on the cause of global warming, this poster focuses on the effects of global warming. The picture shows that global warming will drastically change the environment and that animals will lose their normal habitats. It is important that both audiences are targeted in order to increase the number of viewers of the

Global Warming has silently crept into our society today because of big business, lack of technology, and greed. And now with a new generation of citizens who understand what we have been doing to our earth have to stand up and do what is right. Global Warming refers to the increase in the earth’s average temperature induced by human activity. Most discussions on Global Warming today show similarities between an increase in global temperature and the increase in carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere. Human activity increases the amount of these gases in the atmosphere and, as a result of the greenhouse effect, increases

As the U.S becomes more industrialized, we have noticed severe changes not only in the economy but in the climate as well. Although change is inevitable, the most recent changes we will begin to notice more often in rising sea levels, melting ice and torrential downpours are fierce. Climate change is caused by a multitude of activities. Much of what happens in the future relies strictly on the actions and inactions of what we do now and later. Experiencing a multitude of different dramatic occurrence's, our Earth is suffering because of climate change. With these issues rapidly increasing, there have been organizations put into place in order to make life here on Earth more sustainable.

In recent years, society has been extremely innovative with its technology, thereby generating a mass increase in the efficiency of the commodities we use in our daily lives, but also elevating the amount of pollution that’s being released into our ozone. This, sequentially, is worsening the effects of the polar bear’s prime enemy: global warming. It is indisputable that the longevity of any animal’s life should not be determined by the preference of a human being; it is unjust for us as people of the earth to decide which animal is more deserving of our help. However, we must start somewhere.

In this chapter, I have suggested that mainstream news insufficiently communicated environmental issues due to sporadic news coverage, balanced reporting, over-reliance on elite and government sources, and (mis) representation of the issues. Although news coverage is improving this is compared to nil or none at all, modest levels avail. In this chapter, I have also argued that when symbolic and iconic images present a banal depiction of the issues they do nothing more than serve as backdrop to content and convenient shorthand for the reader/viewer how to think about the environment. It is not enough to portray the threat of climate change or other environmental problems. Perhaps by showing what is at stake with an attainable solution a directive response from the viewer may translate to action. Those in the know must do so in a straightforward, non-threatening manner that emphasizes individual as well as collective understanding of the issues, including government intervention so that it is clear what has happened, also what can be done now to prevent further deterioration or damage to Earth. Too often, content emphasizes causes and effects. Both the news and advocacy groups need to address what are solutions and how to curtail future scenarios. Indeed, if the news and for that matter environmental advocates really do their job, both the public and decisions-makers may make a difference. Until then, photographers, environmentalists and others with an ecological stewardship have taken it upon themselves to build alliances and partnerships with specialized entities and put to use alternative media to for a better environment. The remaining chapters look closer at advocating environmental concerns in the twenty-first

By showing that threats to our environment, it can carry a message to our world. Draper points out, ‘It can transport us to the unseen worlds” (Draper para 5). People will pay attention to photographs more than taking the time to read a document that explains risks to our

During SeaWorld commercials, orcas and sea lions playfully splash around in crystal blue waters. Likewise, zoos display animals in beautiful habitats, yet many of the animals’ natural habitats are depleting due to “acid rain, ozone depletion, global warming, the destruction of the world’s rain forests, and phytoplankton blooms and coral bleaching” (Bonner 81). These man-created global issues are forcing several animals to the brink of extinction. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature “18 percent of the world’s remaining mammals and 11 percent of the world’s remaining birds are threatened with

Global warming has become an unquestionable reality about our current livelihoods; our planet is getting warmer on a daily basis and unfortunately we are without a doubt the cause of this massive problem. Nevertheless, this is not the main environmental issue that we should be worried about. Everywhere in the world, people are facing a hefty amount of new and tough environmental problems every day. Some of them are little and just influence a couple of biological systems, however others are definitely changing the scene of what we are use to. Our planet is hanging at the edge of an extreme natural emergency. Current environmental issues make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and later on. We are in a condition of natural crisis, with ecological issues rising up high around us. Unless we address the different issues thoroughly and truly we are most likely destined for a catastrophe. Our current ecological issues require some

For the past years, climate change has impacted wildlife, frontline communities, people’s security, the economy, water/oceans, and the Arctic. WWF believes that taking action to lower the human population’s carbon footprint can help slow down climate change. Another source WWF protects is the Earth’s oceans to keep nature healthy. On Earth, the most

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has launched several campaigns in the past few years, all focused on several endangered species and natural habitats to try and save the extinction of the planet’s biodiversity. Although WWF has had success in their campaigns and received a plethora of positive feedback, the non-profit organization has also received negative comments in the media.

Many innocent animals have lost their precious life, due to hazardous changes done towards their habitats which puts their lives in danger. Unfortunately for many of us, we might have never gotten to see the beautiful creatures that have once roamed the Earth before us, this is mainly due to climate change destroying their houses.
