Summary/Abstract: In this research, our target is to disclose the communication strategies of the NGOs which aim at orienting individuals' opinions and daily routine towards environmental concerns. More precisely, we start with a symbolical reading of the poster campaings of WWF NGO, while considering the posters as a meaningful shape on which the logo, the picture and the slogan make a whole in the construction of the meaning. Thus, the poster as a meaningful object will be brought into focus in the light of the symbolic and at the heart of a narrative creation.
