Pandas and Prose

About the Series

Welcome to Pandas and Prose–WWF's new virtual series in which we host conversations with writers who use nature and the written word to inspire and educate readers around the world.

Each Pandas and Prose webinar will feature a writer alongside a WWF expert to hear their stories, learn from their experiences, and introduce audiences to potentially new ways of thinking.

Please note: WWF may not share all the same views and opinions as the authors featured in Pandas and Prose.
