TikTokMany of us have spent more time in nature this year. From daily walks, to park refreshments and outside sports, nature has been a way to reset and reconnect. Nature has been here for us through lockdown, and we want to make sure we are here for nature.
That’s why this World Environment Day, we are excited to announce our partnership with iconic nature activists @wwf_uk to launch #SaveOurPlanet as part of our #LearnonTikTok programme.
Together, we’ll be focusing on amplifying, supporting and empowering young voices to make meaningful positive change for nature.
From helping people embrace sustainable actions in our everyday lives, to building and strengthening the movement, we are joining together to help people make positive changes to #SaveOurPlanet.
Follow @wwf_uk and stay tuned for a series of LIVEs and hashtag challenges over the coming weeks!
Darragh Field, Director of Digital and Content, WWF-UK, said:
“This is a critical year for environmental action, and the more we learn and talk about the climate crisis, the better equipped we are to tackle it. Safeguarding our future, for people and planet, will require collaboration between all individuals and organisations, all over the world – and TikTok can play a key role.
“In our new partnership, we will be working to amplify, support and empower youth voices to drive meaningful change for the environment. From educating young people about nature and the climate crisis, to encouraging them to speak up for nature and understand the part they play by building sustainable actions day to day. WWF’s aim is to fully support and strengthen the youth-led movement to save our planet – our one shared home.”
