WWF is the largest nature conservation organization in the world. 196 1 was established in Britain and opened an international office in Switzerland in the same year. Its purpose is to protect the natural habitat of endangered wild animals. Peter scott, a painter and naturalist, is one of the founders of WWF. He designed the famous giant panda logo. The abbreviation WWF stands for World Wide Fund for Nature. Its original name is World Wildlife Fund. Today, the organization has branches in more than 90 countries on five continents. It has thousands of volunteers and 5 million supporters who help through donations. Since 1985, it has spent more than 1 1000 dollars on 1030 projects in 30 countries.

The focus of WWF has also changed. In the 1980s, WWF began to be interested in any activities that have an impact on the environment, such as environmental pollution and the way we use energy. WWF believes that our world will have a future only if people learn to protect the natural environment and not waste resources. Therefore, it began to cooperate with the government to introduce environmental education into schools.

The cooperation between WWF and the government of China began at 1980, when Dr. George Shanle came to China to work with scientists from China on the giant panda cause. During the period of 15, the staff of WWF in China have been based in Switzerland, but they have to go to China to supervise this project. 1995, this institution has set up an office in Beijing. Today, more than 30 workers work for 20 projects all over the country. Their work areas include forest, energy, environmental education for primary and middle school students in China, and of course, saving pandas.
