The nature conservation organization WWF is a tool for “laundering” the environmental crimes committed by corporations that are destroying the last surviving rainforests. It allegedly causes more damage to nature than it cares about it
These are just some of the findings in the new edition of PandaLeaks, The Dark Side of the WWF, by Wilfred Huismann. The best-selling German author and journalist, Wilfried Huismann, is also involved in investigatory journalism, principally for television and radio stations. Over time, he has become one of the most respected and successful producers of documentary films in Germany. In recent years, he has also started to write film and TV scripts, including the well-known crime series Crime Scene. Huismann is the winner of three prestigious Grimm Awards, and of numerous other international awards. Lately, Huismann has thorougly explored the early history of the influential World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and has found "several skeletons in the cupboard". These include the elite secret club known as Club 1001 and the private military club in Africa which takes action, not only against the big game poachers, but also against liberation movements of the black population. In the name of protecting the environment, WWF takes part in the expulsion of indigenous people from places all over the world. So, the business model that the WWF follows could actually be doing more harm than good! WWF cannot deny the facts gathered by the respected journalist and film editor, Husimanm, during his two-year investigation into every part of the "Green Empire". Taking a trip for investigative journalistic purposes, he is ingenuous in revealing the dark secrets behind WWF's hidden façade. At the beginning of Pandaleaks Huismann cites the words of New York Times journalist, Raymond Bonner, "It's easier to penetrate the CIA than the WWF."
