Emirates Nature–WWF is the leading non-profit organisation established to drive positive change in the United Arab Emirates to conserve the nation’s natural heritage. Our vision is a sustainable UAE in which our society, economy and environment thrive side by side, enabling people to live in harmony with nature. Although there are substantial challenges ahead, we look to the future with optimism and believe that by working together we can drive change and create a sustainable future for all. Partnerships are fundamental to our success. We place great value on our strategic collaboration with the UAE government, corporate stakeholders and civil society to achieve science-based solutions to combat climate change and safeguard the seas, the land and their associated biodiversity. Our approach is grounded in science and backed by data, with work spanning across research and policy activities, community and corporate engagement, youth education and raising public awareness. Founded in 2001 under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ruler’s Representative in the Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Governing Board of the Environment Agency–Abu Dhabi, Emirates Nature–WWF has been a prominent and active partner in environmental conservation for over 17 years. We have a local board of directors and represent the global WWF network in the region, which has a 50-year legacy of environmental conservation and is supported by more than five million people worldwide.
