Take a virtual 1 000 steps for nature
Join WWF and reconnect with nature and be part of a virtual community that uses physical activity and exercise to help conserve the natural environment.
Nature – a safety net in tough times and provider of health and wellbeing – needs your help!
As you keep active at home, WWF asks you to dedicate some of that effort towards supporting its work to conserve the environment for the benefit of people and nature.
1 000 STEPS FOR NATURE is your personal contribution to helping WWF raise much-needed funds to help it conserve the natural spaces that are a source of essentials such as food, water and clean air but also a place of play, rest and revitalisation for people.

WWF is dedicating August, Women’s Month, to raising awareness and funds to support its vital work for nature and for you. Healthy people depend on a healthy natural environment.
Remember the wind in your hair, the sand between your toes as you stroll along the beach, the sights, sounds and smells of a walk in the mountains and forests and spaces people rely on to help them destress. All of this has been severely curtailed, as a result of the Covid-19 health crisis.
WWF is offering the public the opportunity to reconnect with nature and be part of a virtual community that uses your physical activity and exercise to help conserve the natural environment even if people cannot venture out as freely as they did in the past.
By simply dedicating 1 000 steps per day you could raise R100 a day for WWF. Utilising your social networks, challenge your family, friends, colleagues, and followers alike. For as little as 10c per step they can help you achieve your goal of becoming a champion for nature.
