About us

Since our founding in 1961, WWF has been committed to protecting nature and its resources. We understand that nature is our planet’s greatest asset, intrinsically linked to human survival — and that it needs our help. Our work to reverse nature loss and conserve biodiversity has never been more urgent.

As the world’s leading conservation organization—with offices on six continents and in nearly 100 countries—our global reach includes the world’s most critical forests, river systems, wetlands, savannas, and ocean habitats. By conserving these places and supporting sustainable livelihoods within them, we can keep the planet in balance for people, wildlife, and the planet.

In every place we work, WWF helps create and implement innovative solutions—scientific, technological, economic, and financial. We do so by partnering with businesses, governments, and scientists and by collaborating with Indigenous people and local communities, to center their needs and incorporate their knowledge. Together, we ensure conservation has a lasting impact.

Why nature needs us now

As biodiversity declines, climate impacts increase, and vital ecosystems vanish, the future of nature and all it provides is in peril. The very foundation of human civilization—our planet’s delicate web of life—hangs in the balance.

Join us and help protect nature for all life on Earth, including our own.
