The wonder of wetlands
All life on Earth depends on water. Wetlands are vital, natural, living entities that must be preserved for the common good - the good of the human race and the good of the huge variety of animals and plants that survive in these unique habitats.
Throughout the world, WWF funds, implements, and operates hundreds of projects that rise to the enormous worldwide challenge of wetland conservation. Central to its work is the theory of sustainable use - a concept that is fundamental to everything it does.
WWF works with governments, industry, research bodies, financial institutions, local communities, and other conservation groups to preserve and enhance not only wetlands, but also endangered wildlife and habitats throughout the world.
After all, there is no alternative. A world without wetlands is quite simply unthinkable.
