WWF Hong Kong

WWF Hong Kong (also WWF HK) is one of Hong Kong's leading environmental charitable organisations. It has been working since 1981 to ensure a better environment for the present and future generations in Hong Kong through implementation of a wide range of focused conservation and environmental education programmes in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

WWF has over 80 full-time staff working in five offices located in Wanchai, Central, Tai Po, Mai Po, and Hoi Ha Wan with nine voluntary committees made up of over 50 people with expertise in relevant fields to provide professional advice on our strategies and programmes. WWF’s current membership is over 18,000, which includes corporations, adults, juniors, teachers, and family members.

It is an independent part of the global WWF network whose headquarters are based in Switzerland. The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF), formerly known as World Wildlife Fund, was founded in 1961 as an international organisation supported by charitable donations devoted to the conservation of wild plants and animals and the places where they live.
