As the seventh largest member of the WW Network, WWFAustralia has a hard brief. We're striving to conserve biodiversity in Australia and throughout the Oceania region. It's a massive task and not one we can tackle alone. For a long time now WW has realized that our planet’s species, people, habitats, governments and global markets are directly, and often delicately, interconnected. If we are to conserve nature and lessen threats to life on Earth, then we're going to have to labor together. After the scenes of our on ground conservation projects are teams of scientists, policy and communications experts, lawyers and other specialists, all supported by our regional and national staff members. Our network also includes prized partners in business, government and non government organizations, communities and, of course, our amazing supporters. This formidable team is influencing decision making and behavior at the highest and most personal levels in the interests of conservation. Our planet and humanity are at a critical crossroads. Biodiversity loss is accelerating, our global ecological footprint is growing, the climate crisis is impacting on people and places like never before, and wealth inequality is rising.

WW (known then as World Wildlife Fund) was born in the small town of Borges, Switzerland, and registered as a charity in the UK. WW and the IUCN established TRAFFIC Oceania to monitor wildlife and aid agencies in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific to curb the illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products. The network worked cooperatively with government and community groups to empower people to participate in all aspects of species conservation. The first WW Living Planet Report was published, showing human pressures on the planet and their impact on vertebrate animals. WWFAustralia played a major role in creating the world’s most far reaching biodiversity conservation laws, the Environment Care and Biodiversity Conservation (epic) Act of June 199. Due to confusion and translation discrepancies across more than 15 languages, the acronym WW was adopted as our name globally. WW brought together a consortium of partners to thrive a plan to guard and manage the biodiversity of the whole Southwest Australia region, which is home to almost 7,00 species of plants, almost half which occur nowhere else. After public campaigning and pressure from WW, the Australian Government committed to elevate concern for the Vast Barrier Reef from 4.6 to 33, offering relief from coral bleaching, sea floor trawling, over fishing and pollution. The island was finally declared pest release in 2014.
