About 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. We are a registered charity - most of our income comes from voluntary sources, such as our dedicated members, supporters and the business community. In 2009/10 we spent over £50m on our work. Our 300+ staff work with governments, businesses and communities both here in the UK and around the world.

We use our experience, credibility and influence to help create long-term solutions to 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.
