About WWF Cymru

WWF Cymru is the Welsh office of WWF-UK, which in turn forms part of the world's largest environmental network. Our main base is in Cardiff Bay and our team focuses on policy work and lobbying, and aims to ensure that the environment and sustainability are high on the political and media agendas.

How Wales fits into the global picture
Many of today's most pressing conservation challenges are global, and some of the most critically endangered wildlife, as well as the most diverse - yet least protected - forests and seas are in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

WWF has effective field projects in these countries and many more, backed up by international policy work. However the origins of many of these problems, lie here in Wales, in our own attitudes and behaviour, and the policies of our governments. That is why WWF Cymru is working with the National Assembly for Wales and other organisations in Wales to reduce our impact on the planet through the Ecological Footprint.

WWF Cymru is also working to safeguard the marine environment through calling for a more co-ordinated legislation approach through its marine policy work. Promoting more use of renewable energy in Wales is also a priority for WWF Cymru as the threat posed by global warming means that climate change is now one of the biggest challenges facing our future.
