How We Work

WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by:
  1. Conserving the world’s biological diversity
  2. Ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable
  3. Promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption 
To do this, WWF uses the best available scientific information to find solutions to today’s pressing conservation issues. We seek dialogue by building relationships with government, other conservation-focused organisations, industry and communities to deliver our goals.
 

In Laos

From our headquarters in Vientiane and field offices in Khammouane, Savannakhet, Champassak, Xekong and Saravan, we have over 40 passionate and determined staff working on a broad range of issues including species protection, protected area management, forest governance, freshwater conservation and natural resource management.
