WWF South Pacific aims to support Pacific Island people to conserve and sustainably manage their natural inheritance for present and future generations.
The Pacific region is a marvel of terrestrial, aquatic and coral reef with the largest block of intact tropical rainforest in the Asia Pacific.Many freshwater and marine species are found nowhere else in the world!
WWF in the Pacific
WWF South Pacific has been working, since 1995, with the governments and people of the Pacific on conservation and natural resource management programmes and projects.
WWF South Pacific is managed from a regional base in Suva, Fiji, and organises its conservation field projects, policy reviews, and campaigns in many countries in the region. In 2004, WWF South Pacific had more than 100 staff.
WWF South Pacific’s objective is that there will one day be supportive legislation and policies that protect the customary cultural and heritage rights of Pacific islands people, ensure the environment is managed in a sustainable manner, and that promotes the socio-economic development of the South Pacific’s island communities.
Furthermore, we hope for cooperation and networking between Pacific Island governments, business and industry, non-governmental and other civil society organisations to maintain conservation and sustainable development. Future generations are guaranteed the use of natural resources to sustain their lives and their children's lives.

The WWF Network contributes expertise and funding to an international conservation programme; one that carries out conservation activities in more than 90 countries, ranging from practical field projects and scientific research to advising on environmental policy, promotion of environmental education, and raising public understanding of environmental issues.
