Sir David Attenborough Officially Opens WWF Living Planet Centre

At the start of the month Sir David Attenborough paid a visit to the Living Planet centre to officially open the new home of the WWF. The centre will soon welcome visitors of all ages into its eco friendly building so they can learn about the WWF’s important work in the natural world.

The Living Planet Centre is located in Woking and has the best environmental credentials with a unique “WWF Experience and Learning Zone” which school children and other visitors can learn about the crucial work the WWF does for global conservation.

“It’s a fantastic eco-building that shows not only how it’s possible to use our planet’s resources wisely, but also helps us all connect with the natural world and brings WWF’s vital work around the globe to life for us, right here and now,” said Sir David.

“As WWF’s new home, the Living Planet Centre allows us to open our doors and invite visitors of all ages in for the first time ever. I think this will help people really connect with our place in the natural world, and the vital conservation work they help us to fund. But our passion for nature has to be matched by a commitment to use the planet’s resources sustainably, and we can now practise what we preach from a building that shows what can be achieved when we are determined. That’s vital as we focus on making real impact in our work – we want a world with a future where people and nature thrive, and we’ve got big ambitions.” said David Nussbaum, CEO of WWF-UK.
