How We Do It

Government Relations and Policy

The Bering Sea and Kamchatka region is under increasing threat from climate change, oil spills and drilling. WWF's policy efforts are protecting this precious habitat by furthering legislative efforts to confront climate change and mitigate oil and gas development.

The primary work of WWF's government relations team is to collaborate with the U.S. Congress and the administration in achieving WWF's natural places conservation mission, and to secure funding from U.S. government partners to support our conservation programs and fieldwork around the world. Our goal is to influence broader, long-term governmental policy - domestically and internationally - that supports WWF's mission to conserve 19 of the world's most important natural places and significantly change global markets to protect the future of nature by 2015.
