The WWF's environmentally friendly Google alternative: PANDA SEARCH

The WWF recently launched its new search engine PANDA SEARCH search engine. The principle is somewhat similar to the already very successful ecological search engine Ecosia.
 
With the advertising revenue you support projects of the WWF. It works like this: when you click on a sponsored link, WWF receives advertising revenue. 50% of this revenue goes to WWF conservation projects, the other half goes to PANDA SEARCH for operations, campaigns and online marketing activities.
 
The search engine is also CO2-neutral. PANDA SEARCH is based on the Bing search algorithm from Microsoft. Bing introduced an internal CO2 tax in 2012 and has been CO2 neutral ever since. By using PANDA SEARCH and the WWF projects financed by it, there is an additional positive effect on CO2.
 
In addition, PANDA SEARCH endeavors to handle your data responsibly and does not create user profiles, for example. No data is collected from you and sold. Your search queries are encrypted and no external tracking tools such as Google Analytics are used. Instead, Panda Search works with a locally hosted open source tool to ensure optimal data protection.
 
You can simply download PANDA SEARCH as an app on your smartphone or make it the default search in your browser.
