World Wildlife Fund

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), known as the World Wildlife Fund in the United States and Canada, is a non-governmental organization that focuses on addressing environmental issues around the world.

"Our ultimate goal is to build a future where people live in harmony with nature. But with only 4,400 staff worldwide - as dedicated as they are - we clearly cannot do it all. Working with others is essential, and we thank our many partners for helping us in this immense task." —Chief Emeka Anyaoku, President, WWF InternationalWorld Wildlife Fund: How the Organization Carries Out Its Work

"We shan't save all we should like to, but we shall save a great deal more than if we had never tried."—Sir Peter Scott, one of the founders of WWFTimeline Index: WWF : World Wildlife Fund, 1961
