Projects

As an Amazon Sustainable Landscapes child project, this project will create a mechanism to provide long-term financial sustainability to Peru’s Amazon protected areas.

Ministries have come together to support the project and its goals. Through this cooperation and strong interest from the president, the project will safeguard Madagascar’s marine resources into the future. The project works on tripling the number of Marine Protected Areas and strengthening their management.

Tropical forests and savannas are critical to our well-being — they help protect the planet’s biodiversity and safeguard against climate change. However, these vital ecosystems are under threat from the rapid expansion of cattle production, a major driver of tropical deforestation. WWF and leaders in the leather industry are launching the Deforestation-Free Leather Fund. By pooling financial resources, industry leaders can unite around a common goal of advancing sustainable and resilient leather sourcing practices. Working together, we can safeguard critical ecosystems while supporting the long-term health of our planet.

Electronic monitoring—known as EM—involves advanced camera systems installed on fishing vessels to continuously record information during trips and monitor fishing activities. When integrated with other technologies, this tool can track vessel locations and identify specific actions, such as net deployment and retrieval.

Nepal is a country rich in water resources. Many of Nepal’s rivers have been developed and many more have hydropower dams and irrigation infrastructure projects proposed on them. While these projects can bring certain services, they can also impact the cultural, environmental, and economic values that natural rivers provide. WWF and partners conducted a series of analyses to inform system-scale energy planning for safe development and river conservation.
