Established in 1970, the WWF-Pakistan has grown to become the country’s largest non-government organization working on conservation. With a head office in Lahore, 6 regional offices (i.e. Gilgit, Peshawar, Muzaffarabad, Islamabad, Karachi, Quetta), and more than 20 project offices and information centers, WWF-Pakistan has a presence in all the provincial capitals and considerable outreach in field sites and protected areas across Pakistan. The organization has biologists, zoologists, foresters, natural resource managers, sociologists, policy experts, GIS experts, freshwater ecologists, and environmental economists. WWF-Pakistan is currently implementing over 30 projects including work on forests, freshwater, species, marine and coastal areas, climate change, education and awareness, poverty-environment linkages, and policy research and advocacy – and employs holistic approaches that mesh conservation and sustainable development initiatives.
Mission: WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which people and nature can thrive, 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.
