WWF DUKE OF EDINBURGH CONSERVATION AWARD
The Duke of Edinburgh Conservation Award
The WWF Duke of Edinburgh Conservation Award is WWF’s premier award. The purpose of the award is to recognize, once a year, highly meritorious contributions to the conservation of wildlife and natural resources.
At its inception in 1970 it was known as the WWF Gold Medal, but on Prince Philip’s retirement as WWF International President in 1996 it was renamed the Duke of Edinburgh Conservation Medal in tribute to the role he has played in the development of WWF as a global conservation organization and its many conservation achievments troughout the world. Since 2014 it has been called the Duke of Edinburgh Conservation Award.
