The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), originally called The World Wildlife Fund, is a non-government organisation. It was set up in 1961, and had its operations in areas such as the preservation of biological diversity, sustainable use of natural resources, the reduction of pollution, and climate change.

The symbol of WWF originates from a panda named Chi Chi, which was transferred from the Beijing zoo to the London zoo in 1961 when the organisation was established. Chi Chi was the only giant panda in the Western world at that time and one of the most endangered animals. WWF recognized it as the symbol of the organisation.

In 1986, the organisation changed its name to World Wide Fund for Nature to better reflect its activities. However, it has operated under the original name in the United States and Canada. In the 1990s, WWF revised its mission to: ‘Stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by:

• conserving the world’s biological diversity
• ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable
• promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.’

WWF is the world’s largest independent conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide, working in more than 100 countries, supporting around 1,300 conservation and environmental projects.
