The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations.
With more than five million supporters worldwide, WWF works in nearly 100 countries to help local communities conserve natural resources, transform markets and policies toward sustainability, and protect and restore species and their habitats.
The organization's efforts ensure that the value of nature is reflected in decision-making from local to global levels, combining cutting-edge conservation science with the collective power of its supporters to advance innovative solutions to complex environmental challenges.
“People look to WWF and its leadership to bring imagination and perseverance to the important work of conservation, building bridges between government, civil society and business to find solutions that match the scale of the challenges we face,” says Carter Roberts, President and CEO of WWF.
“The world demands no less from us.”
