Mission & Goals
WWF Mediterranean (WWF Med) is a non-profit entity of the WWF Network operating in the field of nature conservation and environmental protection with primary purpose, the conservation of the natural environment, biological diversity and ecological processes in the whole world and in particular in the biogeographical Mediterranean region aiming to the protection of biological diversity, fauna and flora, ecosystems, landscapes, water, soils, clean air, ecological processes and life support systems with the aim that they are used in a sustainable and fair manner so as to contribute to improving the wellbeing of current and future generations and to building a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.
