WWF India

World Wide Fund for Nature-India, or WWF-India, is an organization dedicated to building a healthy planet for future generations, by focusing on a two-point approach to Read moreconservation comprising of Biodiversity Conservation and Footprint Reduction. Its Biodiversity Goal for 2050 globally is to conserve the integrity of the most outstanding natural places on Earth, contributing to a more secure and sustainable future for all. WWF-India works in the field of environmental conservation and wildlife preservation through field work, policy interventions and positive campaigns. Its efforts are also aimed at reducing pollution and it tries to reduce the impact of climate change on people. It protects endangered species by its critical regions approach, which focuses not only on Protected Areas, but also on regions that connect Protected Areas. This approach works to create a sustainable habitat for wildlife by evolving developmental policies and livelihoods, and encouraging the involvement of local communities and governments in conservation of wildlife. WWF's Tiger Conservation Programme (TCP) was initiated in the 1970s, which then expanded to include conservation projects targeting the Asian Elephant, Rhino, Nilgiri Tahr, Red Panda, and Snow Leopard. It works with NGOs and government agencies to gather scientific information and help secure natural habitats, conserve animal populations, and raise awareness among local communities. By working together with local communities and state forest department officials, it aims to reduce poaching, habitat destruction, and other threats to wildlife such as human-wildlife conflict, and trade in wildlife parts. Its Global Footprint Goal for 2050 is to ensure that humanity’s global footprint stays within the Earth’s capacity to sustain life and that the natural resources of our planet are shared equitably. In India, WWF-India is working to reduce the country’s footprint on the planet by addressing key development and environmental issues, such as climate change and energy, rivers, and sustainable agriculture. It creates awareness about clean renewable sources of energy to help the environment and meet the energy requirements of the country. The organisation works towards cleaning Indian rivers like the Ganga under its 'Rivers for Life, Life for Rivers' program. In addition, it works with businesses to promote sustainable sourcing of their agricultural raw materials and make fisheries and forestry sustainable by helping them reduce their carbon footprint. It encourages farmers to conserve freshwater and reduce the use of chemicals in farming. WWF India also conducts research in climate adaptation, development economics, and urban planning to help the government develop effective environment-friendly policies.
