The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is one of the world's most prestigious and largest independent non-governmental environmental protection organizations.

WWF was established in 1961 and is headquartered in Gland, Switzerland.

WWF has offices in more than 80 countries around the world, has 2,500 full-time employees, and has more than 5 million volunteers.

Since its establishment more than 50 years ago, WWF has invested in more than 13,000 projects, involving approximately US$10 billion.

WWF's work in China began with the protection of giant pandas and their habitats in 1980. It was the first international NGO invited by the Chinese government to carry out conservation work in China.

In 1996, WWF officially established its Beijing office, and since then has successively established offices in nine cities across the country.

To date, WWF has funded more than 100 major projects in China, with a total investment of more than 300 million yuan.

"WWF" originally stood for "World Wildlife Fund".

In 1986, WWF realized that the name did not fully reflect the organization's activities, so it changed its name to "World Wide Fund For Nature" (World Wide Fund for Nature).

However, the United States and Canada still retain their original names.

Currently, the original abbreviation "WWF" is our only and globally used name.

This abbreviation has been recognized by most people since 1961.

WWF's mission is to curb the deterioration of the earth's natural environment and create a better future where humans and nature live in harmony.

To this end we are committed to: · Protecting the world's biological diversity; · Ensuring the sustainable use of renewable natural resources; · Promoting actions to reduce pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF is committed to protecting the world's biological diversity and the living environment of living creatures. All efforts are to reduce human impact on these creatures and their living environments.

Since its establishment, WWF has invested in more than 13,000 projects in more than 150 countries, with a capital of nearly US$10 billion.

WWF has nearly 1,300 projects running at any time.

Most of these projects are based on local issues.

Projects range from gardens in Zambian schools to initiatives printed on the packaging of items in your local supermarket, from the restoration of orangutan habitats to the establishment of giant panda reserves.
