WWF - World Wildlife Fund is introducing the Philippine Fund for Nature - it will empower WWF-Philippines to sustain its major long-term projects. Helping conserve our biodiversity and mitigating the impact on the environment through their investments.

It will serve as an investment to increase scientific and technical expertise in understanding marine science and marine biodiversity in the Philippines, and in understanding the science behind the impact of climate change in the country.

It will also provide funds for organizations to develop and sustain projects about biodiversity and climate change. Among its major projects are the following;
       - Watershed Management project in Isabela

The World Wildlife Fund is aware of the Philippine's richness in natural resources as well as its high exploitation rate. Hence, they are stressing the importance of preserving these life-giving systems by striking a balance between biodiversity conservation and human impacts.
