About Us
WWF-Australia is part of the WWF International Network, the world's largest and most experienced independent conservation organisation. It has close to five million supporters and a global network active in more than 100 countries.
Our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by:
- conserving the world's biological diversity;
- ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable; and
- promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
With over 80,000 supporters, and active projects in Australia and the Oceania region, WWF works to conserve Australia's plants and animals, by ending land clearing, addressing climate change, and preserving and protecting our fresh water, marine and land environments.
We achieve this by working on the ground with local communities, and in partnership with government and industry, using the best possible science to advocate change and effective conservation policy.
Where and how we work
WWF has staff on the ground in the north, south-east and west of Australia, and in the Asia-Pacific.
To address the big issues facing our natural environment, our work spans the full spectrum of conservation activities - from on-ground field projects through to long-term, large-scale programs, and policy formulation through to public and political campaigns.
