World Wildlife Fund
For more than 45 years，World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has been protecting the future of nature.The largest multinational conservation organization in the world，WWF works in more than 100 countries and is supported by 1.2 million members in the United States and close to 5.2 million globally.WWF's unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science，involves action at every level，from local to global，and ensures the delivery of innovative (创新的) solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.
WWF's mission is the conservation of nature.Using the best scientific knowledge available and advancing that knowledge，it works to preserve the diversity and abundance (丰富) of life on the earth and the health of ecological systems (生态系统)．WWF safeguards hundreds of species around the world，but it focuses special attention on the flagship species: giant pandas，tigers，polar bears，endangered whales (鲸) and dolphins，rhinos，elephants，marine turtles and great apes (大猩猩)．These species not only need special measures and extra protection in order to survive，they also serve as umbrella species: helping them helps lots of other species that live in the same habitats.In addition to the flagship animals，it works in several areas of species protection all around the world and works for the animals that live within the world's priority (重点) ecoregions.Its wildlife trade experts at TRAFFIC work to ensure that trade in wildlife products doesn't harm a species，while also fighting against illegal and unsustainable trade.By the year 2020 WWF will conserve (保存) 19 of the world's most important natural places and significantly change global markets to protect the future of nature.
