Description
WWF-UK works on both global and local environmental issues. Much of WWF-UK’s work is in areas where the most critically endangered wildlife and the least protected habitats are found. The main priority of WWF UK’s International Development and Poverty Programme is the integration of environmental considerations into the agenda of development aid agencies and international institutions.
Projects
1. DFID Partnership: WWF currently receives £3.56 million per year from the Department for International Development (DFID) to tackle poverty and promote sustainable livelihoods through good environmental management.
2. Lake Bogoria, Kenya: WWF UK is assisting local county councils with the production of a long-term management plan that will protect the unique ecosystem while promoting community development.
3. Community Forestry in the Solomon Islands: WWF UK supports a project to improve the management and use of natural resources in a sustainable way by community groups in the Solomon Islands.
4. Udzungwa Mountains National Park, Tanzania: WWF UK supports the Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) in a programme to conserve the forested mountain range while seeking alternative sources of forest products for local people who would otherwise have stripped the forest for timber, fuel wood and construction material.
5. Conservation of Coastal Forests, Tanzania: WWF UK supports the coastal forests project, where poor communities in Tanzania are helped to improve their livelihoods through forest management, the introduction of agro-forestry practises and the protection of water resources.
