Livelihoods Connect guide to sustainable livelihoods organisations and events

WWF

WWF - the global environment network - is an independent conservation organisation. Its mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment, and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by:

conserving the world's biological diversity;
ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable;
promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF and others in the conservation movement have learned that to be sustainable, conservation programs in developing countries need to be pro-poor, empower rural communities and open new opportunities to increase their incomes and assets. WWF selects its programmes carefully, so that they bring the broadest range of benefits to people as well as nature.
