The staff and supporters of WWF join with others around the globe to mourn the passing of Angela Cropper. During her distinguished career, Angela worked tirelessly for the achievement of her vision of a better, fairer and more environmentally sustainable world. Angela touched the lives of many of us in her many different capacities over decades of work. We will miss her leadership, integrity, authority and commitment to move forward in spite of all the obstacles and her outstanding ability to engage us all. We are deeply saddened by her passing but at the same time grateful for the legacy she has left. Jim Leape Director General WWF International
