"Tourism is fundamentally based on people travelling to other places in the world on holiday to experience and enjoy the many natural wonders of our planet"

Without these natural wonders, tourism to the host destinations would simply "STOP"

Why did we choose WWF?

Because its broad and diverse global activites cover many areas of relevance when it comes to a connection with tourism.

WWF around the world focuses all its efforts toward achieving six major goals - in the areas of Forests, Oceans, Wildlife, Food, Climate & Energy, and Water.

As it is the world's leading and most reputable and professional conservation organizations, STV feel it is also best placed to make the best use of our donations and ensure they are spread to areas that need them most in the overall picture.

 

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of our planet's natural environment, and build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. In order to achieve this mission, WWF broadly focuses its efforts on two broad areas:  

• Biodiversity - to ensure that the earth web of life stays healthy and vibrant for generations to come.
• Footprint - reducing the negative impacts of human activity - our ecological footprint - and that the use of natural resources required for life are managed sustainably and equitably.
