WWF works to support sustainable livelihoods and reduce poverty, and develop more equitable models of natural resource consumption and governance. An important dimension of our work are efforts to reduce human ecological footprint by promoting sustainable production and consumption patterns.





Our global efforts on forests, water, oceans, wildlife, climate change & energy, and food work across a diversity of issues to build a sustainable balance between people and nature.  


WWF National, Programme and Country offices across the network run a number of projects and programmes aimed at linking conservation and better natural resource management with improving livelihoods and alleviating poverty.  Learn more about the work of our offices here.


We collaborate with different partners to achieve the best possible outcomes from our work. We work with indigenous and traditional peoples to sustainably manage their environment. We also work closely with the public sector to integrate conservation into development investment. Our partners include national governments and regional bodies, as well as bilateral, regional and multilateral International Financial Institutions. We also engage in partnerships with businesses and the private sector, to shift major commodity markets to responsible and sustainable production. 


Some of our key partners are other NGOs and civil society organizations. From local grassroots groups to large global organizations, we work with environmental, development and human rights groups to deliver effective conservation while safeguarding people's livelihoods.
