WWF’s vision for a living planet takes me and my colleagues into the board rooms of companies, into talks with governments, and into the field, to work with partners in building a future where people live in harmony with nature. From tackling climate change to halting deforestation, overfishing and illicit wildlife trade – and ensuring there is enough water, food and energy for the planet – the challenges of conservation have never been more urgent.

Our people are our greatest strength in this journey towards a sustainable future – and WWF’s EcoLogical blog will showcase the people who are making conservation happen. Reading EcoLogical will give you a sense of what it takes to work for WWF, an insight into the everyday experiences of our employees across the world, and a chance to join the discussion about how to achieve the the changes we need to see.

So why work for WWF? In short: I cannot think of a better job than this. I don’t know of a better organization in the world – that is better positioned than we are – to make a difference in protecting the planet and conserving the precious biodiversity on which we all depend. For me it is a privilege to work for the panda, and to know every morning when I wake up that what I do really matters to life on Earth.
