World Wildlife Fund Guyana

From our humble beginnings with just 5 staff members in 1999, we grew into one of the most recognized and influential environmental NGOs in the Guianas. We strive to build a future in which humans can live in harmony with nature.

WWF supported species conservation programs in the Guianas, with a focus on marine turtles, becoming the first international nonprofit organization to work on nature conservation in the Guianas. In 1998, a regional office covering the three Guianas was created. In 2006, the office was transformed into a Regional Program Office, implementing more complex multi-donor conservation programs. Since 2015, we have taken on the task of developing our office into a Country Office more strongly embedded in society. Today, we are the only civil society organization working across Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana.
