The World Wildlife Fund
There is a vital and urgent need today for a kind of ark to save the world's wildlife from an even more menacing flood than the biblical one, a floodtide of human thoughtlessness and apathy.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) believes that the conservation of the earth's priceless treasures is for the long-term benefit of man. At one end of its scale of activities, it is trying to save certain animals from extinction; at the other, it is concerned with the whole intricate relationship between water, soil, plants, animals and man himself.
WWF exists to raise voluntary funds through national appeals in a number of countries, and to distribute the money on the best available technical advice to existing organizations in the field. Up to one third of the money raised by a national appeal may be retained for home conservation.
WWF has its headquarters in Switzerland, and is controlled by a distinguished Board of International Trustees with HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands as President. It operates through a number of national appeals in different countries.
