World Wildlife Fund, Inc.

Founded in 1961, World Wildlife Fund’s mission is the conservation of nature. With nearly 1.2 million members in the United States and nearly 5 million supporters worldwide, WWF is the world’s largest privately financed conservation organization. WWF-US is an affiliate of the international WWF network, which has national organizations or representatives in more than 50 countries and works in more than 100 nations around the world. Our guiding goal states that “By 2015, WWF-US and its partners will measurably conserve 15 to 20 of the world’s most important ecoregions for the benefit of both the species and people they support, and in the course of so doing, transform markets, policies, and institutions to reduce threats to these places and to the diversity of life on Earth.”
