An Overview



The Global 200

Earth WWF estimates that by conserving the Global 200, it will be possible to safeguard the future of a vast majority of the planet's biodiversity. The Living Planet Campaign plans to mobilize global action to conserve the Global 200 and to encourage national governments to conserve representative examples of every important habitat type. The campaign will highlight fieldwork that WWF is carrying out in a selection of these areas with the aim of encouraging people to take similar action in other important endangered spaces around the world.

All these projects, be they forest conservation initiatives in Siberia or Madagascar, marine activities in the Mediterranean or the South Pacific, have one element in common: an emphasis on the importance of local communities as key stakeholders and players in implementing any conservation activity.
