Why WWF India?
Year of the Tiger:
WWF has been working for over four decades to conserve tigers. In 2002, WWF developed a new and far-reaching strategy in partnership with other conservationists and authorities.
The cornerstone of the tiger conservation programme is a landscape-based approach. Seven priority landscapes have been identified where conservation will benefit the long-term survival of tigers in the wild. Within these key landscapes, WWF and its partners work to reduce or remove threats to tigers in the wild by restoring their habitat, maintaining connectivity, and securing a wilderness landscape, strengthening anti-poaching efforts, working with villages in critical tiger corridors, mitigating human-wildlife conflict by creating physical barriers (solar fencing, CPTs), providing interim relief schemes to curb retaliatory killing, providing alternatives to reduce pressure on forest resources, exploring and supporting alternative livelihood options, facilitating institutional strengthening of local communities and creating awareness among villagers and local populace for their protection.

A part of WWF International, the organisation has made its presence felt through a sustained effort, not only towards nature and wildlife conservation, but also by developing the awareness of people through capacity building and enviro-legal activism.
A challenging, constructive, science-based organisation WWF addresses issues like the survival of species and habitats, climate change and environmental education.
Historically, WWF India started as a wildlife conservation organisation with a focus on protecting a particular species of wild flora and fauna. Over the years, the perspective broadened to reflect a more holistic understanding of conservation issues facing the country.
To suit India's specific ecological and socio-cultural situation, WWF India articulated its mission in 1987 as follows:
