The World Wildlife Fund is a global conservation organization focused on protecting biodiversity and natural habitats, reducing pollution, and promoting sustainable use of resources while supporting people and communities. It works across six key areas—forests, oceans, freshwater, wildlife, food, and climate—to build a future where people live in harmony with nature.
Connection to tourism
Nature-based and ecotourism initiatives protect forests, habitats, and biodiversity while supporting local economies. Sustainable land use, restoration projects, and responsible trekking minimize habitat loss. Community stewardship and protected area management benefit both ecosystems and livelihoods. Partnerships align conservation finance with tourism growth.
