It takes a lot of money to get a Green saviour out of bed…
If these green groups were really tin-rattling charities supported by Mum and Dad donors, there would be outrage that so many funds were diverted from forests and fluffy animals to lining the pockets of the staff. But apparently the largest donors to these groups don’t care either, because the money keeps on flowing.
According to E&E News the CEO of the World Wildlife Fund, Carter Roberts, takes home a nifty $1.2 million each year in compensation. Similarly the president of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) gets close to one million each year, and the head of the Nature Conservancy gets three-quarters of a million. It takes half a million dollars to get the chief of the “Rainforest Alliance” to turn up for work, and $415k to feed the account of the president of the Wilderness Society. The two co-directors of Greenpeace USA get about $330,000 a year each. “Nice work if you can get it”…

E&E News by Politico
1. Carter Roberts, president and CEO, World Wildlife Fund
Roberts, who has led the massive international conservation group since 2005, remains one of the environmental world’s top-paid leaders. His base pay in 2022 was $904,841, according to the World Wildlife Fund’s tax records. Roberts’ total reported compensation that year was $1,204,775.
Can anyone see any wildlife worth protecting here?
WWF appear to be trying to save the solar industry…
Purely hypothetically, if President Xi is not funneling money through to the WWF, he’s missing an opportunity to sabotage the West. And if he was funding the WWF through large philanthropic trusts, who would know?
WWF is deep within The Machine
To understand just how embedded the WWF is with the powers that be, consider that billionaires and bankers have been funding it for years. Among the original founders in 1961 was Godfrey Rockefeller. One of the largest donors has been the Moore Foundation, set up by Intel Founder Gordon Moore. Recently Jeff Bezoz gave the WWF at least $100 million, while bankers like HSBC have pledged “multiple millions”.
In terms of where the $450 million in revenue end up each year, about $44 million was used just for fundraising. And according to InfluenceWatch salary expenses were $70 million in 2020 plus another $4 million in “executive compensation” and $17 million for “other employee benefits”. So that’s a third of the budget. It is a machine that feeds itself.
Environmental non-profits are corporate conglomerates and political lobby groups masquerading as a charity.

Sorry Jo,
actually it was in response to Johannnes Leak cartoon on Albanese re Dutton & NET ZERO CREDIBILITY which to me fitted in with the topic

Well said! And the same can be said of so many large charities and foundations.

“masquerading as a charity”
And as such have tax free status. Something else I have to support against my will and better judgement.

Its all about tax deductions.

It will take a strong politician to stop the rot. I think Dutton will hold the course against a barrage of misinformation generated by the government under the guise of information. Can we get ACMA to investigate Bowen’s latest attempt to stifle nuclear with his wildly inaccurate costings. Or maybe they should look at Dee Maddigan’s deranged anti nuke rant on ABC’s Q and A. We should use their own laws to make them look stupid.

Somebody who can’t be bought.

I’m proud to say I’ve never given WWF or any left wing Greens or any of these vile parasites a cent.
And I never will.

The “West” is doing a fine job already sabotaging itself.
270
Xi is definitely helping it along. All of these red & green watermelon environmental groups are swimming in Chinese and Russian money. The Chinese want the west to keep buying their solar panels and crippling their electrical grids, and the Russians want to keep western fossil fuels in the ground, driving up demand and prices for their own fossil fuel exports. Both have many useful western idiots helping them achieve those goals.

Where was the WWF, Greenpeace, the Greens and Tanya Plebersuck when the QLD high ranges and hinterland were being demolished/flattened. All those trees and animal habitat removed to make way for stupid windmills? Is that land renewable? Who got all the wood from the chopped down trees? What about the environmental impact study?
Also, the transmission lines for Snowy 2 point 0 that have carved an easement through a National Park. Who got all the wood from those chopped down trees? And what about the animals. What about the Environment? What about the environmental impact study?
This Feral Guv’ment has to be the worst ever for Australia. Even worse than Gough’s Mob.
530
I don’t give money to any of the high profile charities. Particularly any associated with big media events. That also includes the McGrath Foundation (Pink Day at Sydney Cricket Test) and MND (AFL water ice slide event). All the environmental charities have been crooked for decades. They all follow the same model and are either tax dodges or employment groups for friends and families.

“Green” is one of the highest paying legal scams there is, apart from senior levels of the public “service” in Australian Government departments, federal or state.
E.g. a department head in Sicktoria gets $813,524.
https://www.vic.gov.au/remuneration-bands-executives-employed-public-service-bodies
The head of Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet gets $977,200.
https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp2324/Quick_Guides/departmentalsecretaries
Heads of Government statutory bodies get MUCH more. The more incompetent they are, the more they get paid.
320
And the Governor General got a 42% pay rise before she had even worked 1 nanosecond. Nice work if you can get it…………..

I can’t wait to meet the next lot of WWF empty heads , soliciting donations in my shopping centre .I will ask them how much they are paid, then I will illuminate them on the bosses salary of $1.1 million. should be interesting.

Well sheeple, why not buy a Carbon Offset for your next electricity bill and airline ticket? The mechanism is similar to that virtuous old religious act buying an indulgence to secure a place in heaven except in this post-modern age heaven is Green, populated by Pandas and the saviour is his holiness WWF’s Carter Roberts.
150
Indeed, and it just shows the medieval mindset of the green movement.
110
I only give locally — Fire Fighters, Search and Rescue, and others I can identify.
My rule is: If my small contribution will be noticed then I will consider a donation. If I think the CEO will spend more on a bottle of wine than I can give – I won’t send any money.
210
Yes John – we only give to World Vision to support a series of children in Africa where I spent much of my career, as I believe we can trust them, and we also support our local CFA as our government has done their best to destroy it, and to a young lady who locally rescues injured wildlife and gets nothing from our local council. She could do with that WWF funding if they really wanted to support wildlife. Have you also noticed how the TV tearjerker adverts also ramp up before Christmas – only $10 a month – etc – now often from supposed charities we have never heard of that want to save various animals using 10 or 15 year old footage!

Everyone should watch this recent video from Mark Mills and you’ll soon understand why we should worry about the loony Harris and Walz idiots winning on Nov 5th this year.
There’ll be an enormous demand for more energy from the cloud, AI and energy demands from an increasing population around the world by 2030, 2050 and until 2100.
W & S are a toxic, super expensive, unreliable joke and only have very low capacity factors most of the time.

Haha, the WWF emblem is a panda bear. Do we even know if they’re threatened? Is it possible they were just a species likely to become non existent anyway. So, pandas unburdened by what has been. ( to quote that great oracle Kamala H)
110
The Chinese apparently got spring using dyed dogs as panda substitutes in a zoo recently.
130
Typical. They will substitute anything. The real Pandas were probably sold to an Arab billionaire for cash.

And the famous Benin Bronzes were repatriated from the British Museum to a warlord. To ‘save’ them. Return them to the rightful owners, the criminal overlords of the place. Probably safe in a private collection by now. Worth nothing as scrap metal. A billion as treasure. Conservation at its best. The Elgin Marbles are next.

Peanuts. Australia does ripoff much better.
PM Malcolm and wife Lucy Turnbull as his last move grabbed $444 Million of our cash to ‘save’ the Great Barrier Reef. It went to his wife’s committee and six staff. Where is it?
Each year in the budget, we hear of the $14Million interest payment on this desperately needed cash. And the people receiving the cash did not know about it and no idea what they were going to do with it. Now the Great Barrier Reef is in the best condition in recorded history and the money is where?
The only thing they could work out was that ‘administering’ the money would cost the six people $132,000,000. Beats most salaries in Australia, even split six ways.

Nature is full of parasites and so is the green movement.
150
This is why I never give money to charities . .

Run an Ad campaign, to raise money, to run an Ad campaign. Skim a nice salary off for yourself. Media love the business and even give you the occasional freebee, when they have a spare slot to fill.
140
Shocked, absolutely shocked, to find profiteering going on in this establishment.
What begins as a movement becomes a business, which degenerates into a racket. We are now in the “racket” phase of the Big Green Makeover.
90
Maybe not a bad deal. A lucrative sinecure for sure, and we pay for the luxury, but the bureaucrat can not do as much harm in the WWF as in the United Nations.

We never ever give to these large corporations . Even if you think it is a good cause, all the money is spent on administration and none on the ‘ground’ Go locally and do your bit

WWF, hardly surprising.
I recommend reading Cloak of Green by Elaine Dewar, a journalist who investigated WWF and other green groups in Canada, (she was a supporter), this book goes back to 1995, good luck finding a second hand soft copy for under $900.00 USD.
What she revealed was the fraud and links with government these NGO’s have.
She got death threats for publishing the book.
In these days of Kindle editions Lorimar the publisher has NO intention of republishing this book or or producing a Kindle edition, even though second hand copys cost so much indicating a current demand due to scarcity.
Almost seems like they dont want us to read the contents.
30
I’d certainly like to read that book….
Hmm. AbeBooks has copies but at $250 USD.
