    Introduction WWF came into being in 1961 in Gland, Switzerland as a result of efforts of a few committed wildlife enthusiasts to establish an organization which aimed to raise funds for conservation. Over the past decades its focus has evolved from localized efforts to the preservation of biodiversity and to achieving sustainable development across the globe. Today, it is one of the leading and most respected conservation organization in the world, with a global network active in over 100 countries. Formerly known as The Pakistan Wildlife Appeal, WWF-Pakistan was established in 1970 as a camp office with a single person working on a part-time basis. It is now the largest conservation NGO in the country and amongst the largest national offices in the WWF Network with over 350 staff and 30 offices around the country. In spite of Pakistans challenging political situation, WWF-Pakistan continues to grow both in size as well as outreach. WWF-Pakistan works to enable the government, private sector and civil society as a whole to help ensure the conservation of the unique ecological areas in Pakistan and to significantly impact the present state of the environment in the country.
