History and Mission Statement
The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) was established in 1961. Since then, it grew into a global network, comprising national organizations and representative offices. An International Secretariat coordinates this network. National WWF organizations have their own boards, while all coordinating efforts and priority-setting takes place within the Global Programme Framework.
WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. Our efforts are targeted at biodiversity conservation, lessening the negative impact of human activity, reducing our “ecological footprint” and ensuring a harmonious and sustainable relationship between people and nature.
As part of the global WWF Network is responsible for conservation activities in the global priority places and species located in 5 countries of Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
