WWF-Netherlands' Priorities:
- Safeguarding existing Dutch nature reserves, with an emphasis on wetlands of international interest.
- Creating 2000 square kms of new natural habitat in the Netherlands over the next ten years.
- Doubling the area of protected tropical forests over the next ten years.
- Ending trade in endangered animal and plant species within the next five years.
- Promoting an 80 to 90 per cent reduction of acid emissions and a 50 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions in the Netherlands
within the next ten years.
- Helping to ensure all Dutch Third World aid really works towards the conservation and maintenance of nature.
WWF-Netherlands achieves its aims by mobilizing other organizations and people in the Netherlands who, by their action, money
and political power, can influence solutions to nature's problems.
WWF-Netherlands has organized itself to enable its 50 strong staff at its Zeist office to carry out its task of organizing
and coordinating activities to protect nature and the environment. WWF staff do not themselves protect reserves. This is done
by others, often supported financially by WWF.
