Strengthen the Endangered Species Act

More than 99% of the species listed under the Endangered Species Act have avoided extinction due to the law’s protections. Today, those protections are under threat—at the exact moment wildlife needs them most.

Places

By addressing the “whole of a place”—its ecology, economy, governance, culture, people, and wildlife—WWF helps create crucial and scalable solutions to nature's greatest threats.

Where we work

Locally led conservation

Lasting change only succeeds when the needs of people are prioritized in balance with conservation, especially Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

People and communities
