 Who They Are

•World Wide Fund for Nature - Pakistan was formed in 1970 to address the growing environmental and conservation issues in Pakistan that not only
affected the flora and fauna, but were also affecting the human population. For the first fifteen years, it was a small organization which relied on
individuals for financial support and honorary scientific input. It was in the late 80s that the first formal project for environmental education was
started. Since then, the programmers of WWF Pakistan and its staff have expanded rapidly to increase its conservation efforts. WWF Pakistan works
through 31 offices with a team of approximately 340 dedicated staff members. We have our Head Office in Lahore, regional offices in Karachi,
Islamabad, Peshawar, Gilgit, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Quetta, and project offices wherever there is need and the potential to make a difference.

• Biodiversity
• Pakistan is rich in biodiversity, particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions which cover almost 80% of the total land area. A number of animal and plant species are threatened and/or endangered largely due to over-exploitation and loss of natural habitat.
