Wildlife Fung:
www.panda.org/index.cmf
Back in
1961 when it was founded, WWF stood for the "World Wildlife
Fund". However, as the organization grew over the 70s and into
the 80s, WWF began to expand its work to conserve the
environment as a whole (reflecting the interdependence of all
living things), rather than focusing on selected species in
isolation. So although we continued to use our well-known
initials, our legal name became "World Wide Fund For Nature"
(except in North America where the old name was retained). More
and more, however, to avoid confusion and mixed messages across
borders and languages, WWF is known as simply "WWF, the global
conservation organization."
