WWF - World Wide Fund for Nature has had a presence in the country since the late 1980s, when it contributed to some of the first biodiversity surveys that established Laos’ protected area system. The office in Laos (WWF-Laos) was officially established in 2001. Today, our main office is in Vientiane Capital, with field offices in Savannakhet, Champassak, Salavan, and Xekong provinces. WWF-Laos works with government, civil society, and private sector partners to address the threats to biodiversity and to move towards a greener nature-based future.
Our key partners are the Lao Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (Dept. of Forestry, Dept. of Forest Inspection, Dept. of Livestock and Fisheries), the Provincial Agriculture & Forestry Offices; other conservation-focused organizations; communities; Lao civil society organizations; and other stakeholders.
