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”…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And the Governor General got a 42% pay rise before she had even worked 1 nanosecond. Nice work if you can get it…………..
