We have over 70 full-time staff working in five offices located in Wanchai, Central, Tai Po, Mai Po and Hoi Ha Wan with nine voluntary committees made up of over 50 individuals with expertise in relevant fields to provide professional advice on our strategies and programmes. Our current membership is over 18,000, which includes adult, junior, teacher and family members.
We are an independent part of the global WWF network whose headquarters are based in Switzerland. The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF), formerly known as World Wildlife Fund, was founded in 1961 as an international organisation supported by charitable donations devoted to the conservation of wild plants and animals and the places where they live.
