About WWF

WWF is the world’s largest conservation organisation, with a mission to actively restore nature. The changes affecting the natural world are happening at a pace and scale unprecedented in human history and since 1970 wildlife populations have fallen by over half. WWF is working to make nature matter – to both protect the iconic species we share our planet with and to ensure health and long-term security for people.

Working with business is at the heart of our strategy, and we are focused on building partnerships that help us advocate for change, reach and engage new audiences alongside securing funding for conservation and transforming business operations.
