EWS works in association with one of the world's largest and most experienced independent conservation groups, WWF. This partnership is known as EWS-WWF.
WWF, Worldwide Fund for Nature, has over five million supporters, and a global network active in over 100 countries. WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature by: conserving the world's biological diversity; ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable; promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
The EWS-WWF has been working for nature conservation in the UAE over the past seven years. The achievements of EWS-WWF reflect the strong commitment of governments, NGOs, corporations, research and educational institutions and individuals to conserve the natural heritage of our home, the UAE.
EWS-WWF operations are consolidated into six strategic initiatives, which have been based on a thorough analysis of the environmental arena. Its strategic areas of operation include natural habitats, natural resources, the ecological footprint, species, climate change and the WWF global environmental agenda. EWS-WWF's work is implemented through conservation, education, awareness as well as policy advising and research.
Established under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, EWS-WWF is governed by a board of directors.
