NGO Overview, Mission, and Purpose: What We Are About and Who We Help
"Our mission is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. From our experience as the world's leading independent conservation body, we know that the well-being of people, wildlife and the environment are closely linked. That's why we take an integrated approach to our work. We're striving to safeguard the natural world, helping people live more sustainably and take action against climate change. We spend a lot of time working with communities, with politicians and with businesses to find solutions so people and nature can thrive. Our projects are innovative, collaborative and based on scientific evidence. And we think big. We run a number of Global initiatives focusing on the regions and challenges where we can make the biggest difference - from the Arctic and the Amazon to responsible fishing." -//from// //our WWF International website//

WWF is an international non-governmental organization with offices in over one hundred countries worldwide that is dedicated to preserving the natural world and the multitude of species that inhabit it. We strive to promote, preserve, and protect the millions of animals on our planet, especially those disappearing quickly and those endangered by human activity. We believe the harmony of the environment, the world's wildlife, and humanity is essential to our future. We work in areas ranging from field work to conserve world's ecosystems and organisms therein. We focus on creating a positive, lasting change, for wildlife and humanity alike.

NGO "Bottom Line": How Me Make an Impact
We recognize that conservation on a global scale requires a comprehensive approach. Our response, from local to global, focuses on wildlife, habitats, local communities, governments, and global markets, combining an unmatched global reach with a foundation in science. Our actions help not only wildlife being affected by global issues such as climate change and deforestation, but the communities in those regions. Our more than one hundred offices around the world work continuously to reach our goal of uniting humanity, nature and wildlife, and helping them thrive. We take action at every level. We create programs in regions, organize petitions and community efforts, raise funds, promote awareness, conduct research, work with governments, employ thousands of experts in their respective fields to further our work, launch corporate and humanitarian partnerships worldwide, and a plethora of other extensive efforts to make a difference in the natural world.
