In almost 5 decades, WWF(formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund) has become one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. As the world's leading conservation organization, we have a hugely important mission. We’re here to stop the degradation of our planet's natural environment, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature. We do this by :– protecting biodiversity – the magnificent array of living things that inhabit our planet and the places where they live – reducing humanity's footprint on the natural world by challenging wasteful consumption and pollution, and promoting sustainable ways to use the Earth's resources.  2, record 1, English, - World%20Wide%20Fund%20for%20Nature

Le WWF International, dont le siège social est en Suisse, est le plus important organisme indépendant voué à la conservation de la nature au monde. Afin d'accomplir sa mission, le WWF coopère avec de nombreux partenaires, y compris des gouvernements, des organismes non gouvernementaux, le secteur privé et des individus. Le WWF concentre ses efforts de conservation sur trois éléments desquels dépend en grande partie la vie : la forêt, l'eau douce ainsi que l'océan et le littoral. À l'échelle du globe, le WWF travaille de plus à la réduction de l'émission des gaz à effet de serre qui modifie le climat à l'échelle mondiale et menace notre survie.  3, record 1, French, - Fonds%20mondial%20pour%20la%20nature

Global environmental groups WWF [World Wildlife Fund] and Greenpeace are urging officials at this week's IMO [International Maritime Organization] diplomatic conference on antifouling to agree on a legal framework to phase out the use on ships of harmful organotins, including TBT [tributyltin]. The groups are pushing for IMO [International Maritime Organisation] to adhere to the proposed dates for a ban on applications of organotin-based antifouling paint by January 2003, and the presence of organotins in antifouling coatings by January 2008.  1, record 2, English, - organotin%2Dbased%20antifouling%20paint

The concept of "sustainable development" was first used in the mid-1970s, to suggest a broad policy goal of integrating environmental considerations into economic decisions. In 1980, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources(IUCN), in conjunction with UNEP [United Nations Environment Programme], the World Wildlife fund(WWF), and other organisations, published the World Conservation Strategy(WCS). In the WCS, the current and more complex implication of sustainable development emerged to imply, for example, operational linkages between resource use and sustainable yields, in light of the needs of future generations.  2, record 3, English, - World%20Conservation%20Strategy

Pour la Journée Mondiale de la Conservation, l'UICN [Union mondiale pour la nature] publie la Stratégie mondiale de la conservation (SMC ou WCS en anglais) (sous-titrée : «La conservation des ressources vivantes au service du développement durable»), avec la coopération du PNUE [Programme des Nations Unies pour l'environnement], du WWF [Fonds mondial pour la nature] et en collaboration avec l'UNESCO et la FAO [Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture]. Ce document, fruit de deux ans de travail et reconnu comme le manifeste le plus important des années 80 dans le domaine de la conservation de la nature, redéfinit le fondement intellectuel de celle-ci. La SMC insiste sur un fait essentiel : la conservation et le développement durable ne sont pas ennemis, ils sont inséparables.  2, record 3, French, - Strat%C3%A9gie%20mondiale%20de%20la%20conservation
