- WWF's Strategic Plan for Conservation 1.12 MB pdf
WWF has developed a science-based, strategic plan to achieve its goals. This global conservation framework:
- Uniquely combines traditional conservation with work to address the global dynamics driving biodiversity loss and humanity’s unsustainable use of natural resources
- Focuses efforts on the most important places, species, and footprint areas, and integrates this work from the local level to the global
- Taps into the enormous power we all have – as consumers, local community members, landowners, politicians, policy makers, business & industry leaders, development & conservation workers, farmers, and fishers – to protect biodiversity and steer the world towards sustainability
