The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non
governmental organization for the conservation, research, and restoration of the
environment. The organization was formed as a charitable trust on September
11, 1961, in Morges, Switzerland, under the name World Wildlife Fund. It was
an initiative of Julian Huxley and Max Nicholson.
It is the world's largest independent conservation organization with over 5
million supporters worldwide, working in more than 90 countries, supporting
100 conservation and environmental projects around the world. It is a charity,
with approximately 9% of its funding coming from voluntary donations by
private individuals and businesses.
The group says its mission is "to halt and reverse the destruction of our
environment". Currently, much of its work focuses on the conservation of three
biomes that contain most of the world's biodiversity: forests, freshwater,
ecosystems, and oceans and coasts. Among other issues, it is also concerned
with endangered species, pollution, and climate change. The organization runs
more than 20 field projects worldwide. In the last few years, the organization
set up offices and operations around the world.
