Activity of the World Wide Fund for Nature in Hungary

Abstract

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has operated in Hungary since 1986 and has focused its efforts on forests, wetlands, and agriculture. Activities take three forms: policy, field work, and public relations. The WWF has a network of contacts and has issued policy papers to generate government and public attention to certain problems. The organization has paid special attention to privatization processes and aims to transfer this knowledge elsewhere. The article also surveys various WWF field projects.
