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 2, 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 2, French, - Fonds%20mondial%20pour%20la%20nature
