WWF - India
WWF-India, or the World Wide Fund for Nature – India, has been a key voice for conservation in the country for over five decades. It began its journey in 1969 in Mumbai as a small charitable trust, inspired by the global WWF movement. In those early years, its focus was simple but ambitious — to protect India’s incredible wildlife and natural heritage. By 1987, the organisation had adopted its current name, WWF-India, and expanded its vision to look at the bigger picture: how people and nature can live together in harmony.
