WWF-India's Programmes

WWF-India is engaged in a multitude of activities for protection and conservation of the environment in the Indian context. Climate Change and Energy Conservation are among the chief areas of concern for the organisation. The Forest and Biodiversity Conservation Division strives to promote and enhance conservation of forest ecosystems in the country through a participatory approach involving key stakeholders. Through its Environment Education Programme, it aims at strengthening individual and institutional capacity in nature conservation and environmental protection through widespread education and awareness.

Intimately involved in the conservation of tigers in India since the late 1960s, WWF’s significant efforts culminated in the launch of Project Tiger in 1973. It seeks to conserve and protect the biodiversity of maritime life and resources by sensitising the people at large. The pollution of the river waters and the imminent threat to aquatic life is a cause of great concern. WWF-India has stepped in on a number of occasions to launch campaigns for securing their habitat, like 'Save the River Dolphin' project. WWF believes that if you secure an animal’s habitat, you secure its right to live.
