Using pictures
WWF is supported by a marvellous group of generous photographers who let us to use their images for free to help promote our work. They do this even though they depend on their images in order to make a living and earn an income.
This is why we cannot authorize you to use any images from this site UNLESS you use them in the original context in which you found them i.e. about WWF and mentioning WWF, and making sure you include the image copyright information.
So for example, taking and using the flash files or the banners/buttons from this site is OK. Or if you reproduce news from WWF and include the same photograph that we used next to your reproduced article, that too is OK.
However if you wish to use a photograph for any commercial or print purposes, or outside of a WWF context then you must first email enquiries@wwf.org.au
