What is the WWF?

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is the largest conservation organisation in the world. Founded in 1966, WWF is now an international, multilateral and non-governmental organisation with offices in over 90 countries and territories around the world.

In each country, the organisation works to protect and preserve the nation's natural resources, prevent the destruction of species and their habitats, and promote the sustainable use of those resources for the benefit of all humankind and the biosphere.

WWF is dedicated to the principle that all life is part of the biosphere and that all organisms and their life cycles, as well as the environment in which they live, should be treated as part of the world's natural resources.
