Fifty years ago, a small group of concerned scientists, naturalists, and business and political leaders joined together to save our Earth’s wildlife from extinction. The organization they founded—World Wildlife Fund (WWF)—has since grown into the world’s leading conservation organization. Today, we work in more than 100 countries around the globe and have more than 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5 million members worldwide.
In this important anniversary year, we are proud of our heritage, our past work, and our many accomplishments. But we also know that there’s still work to be done. The protection of wildlife and wild places around the world requires constant vigilance. So in this year of celebration, we are not just looking back, but actively moving forward and working for the future. Like our founders half a century ago, we begin our next 50 years of conservation work with a strong determination and a message of hope for all: that together, we can protect life on earth for generations to come.
