Déscription
WWF's mission is the conservation of nature. Using the best available scientific knowledge and advancing that knowledge where we can, we work to preserve the diversity and abundance of life on Earth and the health of ecological systems by:
· protecting natural areas and wild populations of plants and animals, including endangered species;
· promoting sustainable approaches to the use of renewable natural resources; and
· promoting more efficient use of resources and energy and the maximum reduction of pollution.
We are committed to reversing the degradation of our planet's natural environment and to building a future in which human needs are met in harmony with nature. We recognize the critical relevance of human numbers, poverty, and consumption patterns to meeting these goals.
WWF-US supports a wide range of field programs implemented through WWF in-country offices around the world, and implements field programs in the US. Strategies to improve livelihoods of resource-dependent people are integrated into priority ecoregion programs supported by WWF-US through the Field Programs Unit. The WWF-US Livelihoods and Governance Program is dedicated to advancing the development, learning, and dissemination of innovative and sustainable livelihoods strategies for resource-dependent communities as a critical dimension of large scale conservation.
