The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural
Resources (IUCN) was founded in 1948 and has its headquarters in
Morges, Switzerland; it is an independent international body whose
membership comprises states, irrespective of their political and
social systems, government departments and private institutions as
well as international organizations. It represents those who are
concerned at man's modification of the natural environment through
the rapidity of urban and industrial development and the excessive
exploitation of the earth's natural resources, upon which rest the
foundations of his survival. IUCN's main purpose is to promote or
support action which will ensure the perpetuation of wild nature
and natural resources on a world-wide basis, not only for their
intrinsic cultural or scientific values but also for the long-term
economic and social welfare of mankind.
This objective can be achieved through active conservation programmes
for the wise use of natural resources in areas where the flora and
fauna are of particular importance and where the landscape is especially
beautiful or striking, or of historical, cultural or scientific
significance. IUCN believes that its aims can be achieved most
effectively by international effort in cooperation with other international
agencies such as UNESCO and FAO.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an international charitable foundation
for saving the world's wildlife and wild places. It was established
in 1961 under Swiss law and shares joint headquarters with the International
Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN)
Its aim is to support the conservation of nature in all its forms
(landscape, soil, water, flora and fauna) by raising funds and
allocating them to projects, by publicity, and the education of the
general public and young people in particular. For all these activities
it takes scientific and technical advice from IUCN.
Although WWF may occasionally conduct its own field operations, it tries
as much as possible to work through competent specialists or local
organizations.
Among WWF projects financial support for IUCN and for the International
Council for Bird Preservation (ICBP) have highest priority, in order
to enable these bodies to build up the vital scientific and technical
basis for world conservation and specific projects. Other projects
cover a very wide range from education, ecological studies and surveys,
to the establishment and management of areas as national parks and
reserves and emergency programmes for the safeguarding of animal and
plant species threatened with extinction.
WWF's fund-raising and publicity activities are mainly carried out by
National Appeals in a number of countries, and its international
governing body is made up of prominent personalities in many fields
