World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Malaysia

Established as a national conservation trust on 13 January 1972, WWF-Malaysia began as a humble two person-organisation. Today, we have close to 200 people working for us – from Kedah to Sabah. Also known as Tabung Alam Malaysia, we are governed by a Board of Trustees.

Besides our headquarters in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, we have programme offices in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and Kuching, Sarawak as well as site offices in Fraser’s Hill, Malacca, Jeli and Stong in Kelantan, Ma’ Daerah and Setiu in Terengganu.

Objectives

• WWF-M's mission is to achieve conservation of nature and ecological processes by:
• Preserving genetic, species and ecosystem diversity.
• Ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable both now and in the longer term, for the benefit for all life on earth.
• Promoting actions to reduce, to a minimum, pollution and the wasteful exploitation and consumption of resources and energy.
• WWF-M's ultimate goal is to stop, and eventually reverse, the accelerating degradation of our planet's natural environment, and to help build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.
