WWF-UK
Launched on 23 November 1961, WWF-UK was the first National Organisation in the WWF network.

Today we have offices in England , Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales.

Our mission:
As part of the international WWF network, WWF-UK addresses global threats to people and nature such as climate change, the peril to endangered species and habitats, and the unsustainable consumption of the world’s natural resources. We do this by influencing how governments, businesses and people think, learn and act in relation to the world around us, and by working with local communities to improve their livelihoods and the environment upon which we all depend.

WWF uses its practical experience, knowledge and credibility to create long-term solutions for the planet’s environment.
