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, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF South Africa was founded in 1968 by the late Dr. Anton Rupert and was then know as the Southern African Nature Foundation with its main focus to conserve African wildlife. Since those early days WWF has grown up to be one of the largest environmental organisations in the world. Today WWF deals with a range of environmental issues from preventing the loss of species, protecting important ecoregions and biodiversity hotspots in Africa and conserving water to the management of our marine resources and promoting sustainability practices within businesses. Currently there are more than 1300 WWF conservation projects underway around the world.
