Wild Green Memes for Ecological Fiends

Kindness. After scroll through the posts here, I became absolutely convinced that this is a Facebook group that runs on kindness. What did it for me? One commmenter explaining the sad backstory of a (non-ecological) meme I must have seen on Facebook a million times before. But the caring here wears the garments of scientific lingo and the badges of species battling extinction. It flaunts insider knowledge on animals most people couldn't even spare a thought for. It crafts clever jokes and challenges members and visitors to think wider, think higher and think deeper. Enlightening us, for instance, on the distinction between critters and varmints. Even the virtual air feels a little more wholesome within this space.

World Wildlife Fund

This is the facebook group to promote the activities and concerns of the World Wildlife Fund. The info section gives the basic facts about the organization's history. On the discussion board, you will find threads such as 'Adopting an animal', 'Fuel Efficiency is NOT the Answer', 'Snatching Baby Elephants from Their Mothers Spark Controversy in Sri Lanka', 'Ecotourism -hope and reality' and '8-year-old boy writes book in order to raise money for endangered animals'. On the wall, you will find links to specific causes, links to other wildlife related groups and interests.Images of feline predators such as lions, tigers and leopards predominate in the gallery, but check out the unusual picture of the parachuted llama.

What's great about this group: Wildlife matters.

Update (17 April 2024)
There are numerous small groups with barely any activity called World Wildlife Group. I am wondering whether it might be this group, which goes back to 2007.
