About [Edit]
WWF's 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 biodiversity
* Ensuring that use of natural resources is sustainable
* Promoting reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption
WWF's work globally focuses on several thematic areas. Forests, Marine, and Freshwater programmes are concentrated in the parts of the world that WWF considers the highest priority areas for conservation attention. A key focus of these programmes is the establishment of tnew protected areas, improved management of protected areas, and more sustainable uses of natural resources. The WWF Species Programme focuses on the conservation of charismatic species. Protection of these species also requires their habitats and the other species with which they are associated to be protected. The Climate Change Programme aims to reduce emissions of climate changing gases that are causing global warming and to develop strategies to reduce vulnerabilities to climate change.
Although WWF often is perceived as interested only in protectin plants, animals and the environment, local livelihoods and governance are very important to us. We believe that poverty cannot be eliminated without protecting the environment, and that the environment cannot be protected without reducing porverty.
WWF South Pacific Programme's headquarters is in Suva, Fiji. We have offices in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Cook Islands, and we also work throughout the Pacific on regional issues.
