WWF-US Priority Places
WWF-US has focused its efforts on a number of places that are of the highest priority for conservation based on the wealth and diversity of life they support, the destructive challenges they face, and our ability to impact them within the next decade. These priority places include the world's largest and most intact tropical rain forests, the most diverse freshwater systems, the most varied coral reefs, the most biologically significant deserts, and the most productive fishing grounds. Through Kathryn Fuller Fellowships, WWF supports promising doctoral research that has the potential to advance conservation in the places listed below.
