The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to encourage wilderness preservation and the reduction of human impact on the environment.  Based in Switzerland, the world’s leading conservation organization works in nearly 100 countries.

The WWF helps local communities conserve natural resources.  Their efforts encourage the transformation of markets and policies toward sustainability and the protection and restoration of species and their habitats.

The WWF collaborates at every level with people around the world to ensure that the value of nature is reflected in decision-making – from the local to a global scale.
