In 1961 a limited number of organizations around the world, such
as IUCN (the International Union for Conservation of Nature and
Natural Resources) were trying to meet conservation needs, but
they were all desperately short of funds. A small but influential
group of Europeans-scientists, naturalists, and business and
political leaders-rose to the occasion. In September of that year,
they founded World Wildlife Fund, which is dedicated to protecting
the world's wildlife and wildlands.
