About Me
For more than 45 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature. The largest multinational conservation organization in the world, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million globally. WWF's unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.
Mission:
WWF's mission is the conservation of nature. Using the best available scientific knowledge and advancing that knowledge where we can, we work to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by
* protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including endangered species;
* promoting sustainable approaches to the use of renewable natural resources; and
* promoting more efficient use of resources and energy and the maximum reduction of pollution. We are committed to reversing the degradation of our planet's natural environment and to building a future in which human needs are met in harmony with nature. We recognize the critical relevance of human numbers, poverty and consumption patterns to meeting these goals.
Goal:
By 2015 WWF will conserve 19 of the world's most important natural places and significantly change global forces to protect the future of nature. Scott, the noted ornithologist and artist who created the panda logo, among its founding members.
Over the following four decades, World Wildlife Fund has grown into the largest privately financed international conservation organization in the world, with national affiliates in more than 30 countries and a global membership of more than five million-with nearly 1.2 million in the U.S. alone. WWF field staff work on projects in more than 100 countries, backed by teams of scientists and policy experts in national offices around the world.
Our core mission remains the protection of endangered species and their habitats. But over the years, as environmental threats have multiplied and become more complex, the scope of this mission has expanded beyond field work to include policy engagement, education, advocacy and pioneering work in conservation science and finance. Giving people the incentive to work for conservation by finding conservation solutions that work for them is one of the hallmarks of this expanded effort, which seeks to reconcile human-wildlife conflicts, preserve biodiversity and nurture a healthy, living planet.
