Emirates Nature-WWF believes that our economy, society and environment can thrive in unison – and together we can build a prosperous future in harmony with nature.

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.
