The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is a non-governmental organisation that tries to
conserve and protect the world’s natural environment. It was formerly named the World Wildlife Fund.
The organisation founders were a small group of passionate, mostly British naturalists and
conservationists such as Peter Scott, Max Nicholson, Guy Mountfort and Julian Huxley.
In 1960, after Huxley published a series of articles in the UK’s Observer newspaper on
environmental problems in Africa, he received a letter from a businessman Victor Stolan, who
recommended the foundation of an international organisation to raise funds for the conservation of wild
species. Huxley, Nicholson and companions reacted to this by forming WWF, known then as the World
Wildlife Fund, a year later.
WWF works to protect endangered species of wildlife and preserve natural habitats. WWF has
grown to become the world’s largest conservation organisation with over 5 million members and around
1,300 environmental projects worldwide. For example, it has saved 30 different endangered species like
the gorilla, the giant tortoise, and of course, the panda, the animal that’s on its logo. The well-known
panda logo of WWF came from a panda named Chi Chi, which scientists transported from the Beijing
Zoo to the London Zoo in the same year of the establishment of WWF. Anyone can become a member
and help raise money for the charity projects.
