World Wildlife Fund Advertisement




This ad is sponsored by the World Wide Fund for Nature, formerly named the World Wildlife Fund. Their goal is to work on the conservation and restoration of the environment. This organization wants to stop the destruction of our environment and improve upon it. The World Wildlife Fund focuses mainly on conserving oceans, coasts, forests, and freshwater ecosystems. They also focus on endangered species, pollution, and climate change.
In this ad, the World Wildlife Fund centers its interest on the forest. The trees of the forest are shaped like human lungs. The picture shows that the lungs are being destroyed, which means that the trees are being burnt down. On the bottom of the ad it says, “Before it’s too late.” This ad is trying to explain to its viewers that they should stop the destruction of the forest before it is too late and there are no longer any forests or animals in our ecosystem. If people continue to destroy the forest it will eventually die along with the animals in the forest, just like a human will die if its lungs are severely damaged.   
This is another example to consider when thinking about how advertising affects us because they are comparing the life of the natural habitat to the life of a human being. It is stating not only to protect the life of the forest but also stating that the life of the forest is equally as important as the life of a human. Even though this is not a product ad, it has a very important statement. Everyone must protect the environment and help the World Wildlife Fund either by donating money or even becoming part of their conservation group. This ad is meant to pull at the heart strings and inspire people to support their cause.
