World Wide Fund For Nature, WWF Greater Mekong - Vietnam

Formed in November 2005, the WWF Greater Mekong Programme is part of WWF’s global network, coordinating a growing number of projects through offices in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The WWF Greater Mekong Programme envisions a future whereby the function of natural ecosystems, on which the quality of life depends, is ensured by people whose daily actions support biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of renewable natural resources in the Greater Mekong Subregion.

Our purpose is to aid the people of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand, and Vietnam to conserve the region’s natural heritage and move on a more sustainable development path. To reach this goal, WWF Greater Mekong works to raise the awareness of local people about critical environmental issues, influence policy, build capacity, etc., while still ensuring sustainable livelihoods.

Our work currently focuses on conserving the biodiversity of three priority ecoregions: the Lower Mekong Dry Forests, the Mekong River, and the Greater Annamites Forests.
