WWF Russia cuts ties with global wildlife fund, now labelled ‘undesirable’ by Moscow

MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Russian chapter of the global environmental campaign group WWF on Thursday said it had terminated its relationship with the body after Russia designated WWF as an “undesirable organisation”.

The label is equivalent to a ban on the group’s activities.

WWF Russia, said it would no longer use the global organisation’s panda logo or the WWF acronym.
