Highly-regarded former Toronto Mayor David Miller says he is "very excited" about becoming the new President and CEO of the
World Wildlife Fund-Canada in September.
"They've made such a difference," Miller told The Toronto Star, "and to be part of an organization that knows how to make real change is a unique opportunity."
But there are questions about whether the
WWF is effective in its work and, moreover, why the WWF and other members of the global environmental movement have made such little progress combatting the most serious threat to earth - climate change.
The magnitude of the crisis facing humankind cannot be overstated. More than
400,000 people are dying each year, and, a confidential report from the United Nations said that three years ago corporations caused
$2.2-trillion damage to the environment.
