WWF is taking an innovative, collaborative, science-based approach to achieve its twin goals of saving biodiversity and reducing humanity's impact on nature. In doing so, we follow a systematic procedure to identify priority places and issues to work with, devise effective strategies and to evaluate how effective we have been. As such, we bring together interdisciplinary team of experts comprising conservation scientists, policy experts, lawyers, communications experts, and other specialists in our programmes and global initiatives, supported by national and regional offices and implemented through on-the-ground projects. Together with our valuable partners, these dedicated people are developing and implementing real solutions across the world – building a future in which people live in harmony with nature.
At WWF Nepal, the major focus of the conservation science unit has been to provide scientific back stopping to wide range of issues such as ecology and conservation of endangered species and their habitats, conservation landscapes planning, climate change impacts and sustainable management of the fresh water systems. We also undertake the systematic evaluation of effectiveness of our conservation efforts in order to insure that our work is realistic and management decisions are supported by best science available.
