WWF, in full World Wide Fund for Nature, international organization committed to conservation of the environment. In North America, it is called the World Wildlife Fund.

In 1960, a group of British naturalists - most notably biologist Sir Julian Huxley, artist and conservationist Peter Scott, and ornithologists Guy Montfort and Max Nicholson - led an effort to establish an organization that protected endangered species and their habitats. The following year the World Wildlife Fund was founded; the international name was subsequently changed to World Wide Fund for Nature in 1989, although in the United States and Canada it retained the founding name. The organization's distinctive panda logo was created by Scott. In the face of growing environmental threats over the ensuing years, the WWF's activities expanded in scope. Today its mission statement is threefold: to conserve the world's biological diversity, to ensure that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and to promote the reduction of pollution and of wasteful consumption. The organization has long included both conservationists and businesspeople with the intention of combining solid scientific data with well-managed action. It also seeks cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and local populations. The WWF works closely with the World Conservation Union and has formed partnerships with the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.

The WWF provides money for conservation initiatives around the world. These include programs focused on individual species, forests, and freshwater and marine issues as well as climate change and responsible international trade. The group has also been involved in efforts to provide a safe and sustainable habitat for the world's peoples, both urban and rural, including clean water, clean air, healthful food, and rewarding recreation areas. Among the WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in which an organization buys some of a country's foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap took place in 1987 in Ecuador.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more than five million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more than 90 offices around the world.

According to the passage, what contemporary mission of WWF is NOT stated?

A. to protect the biological variety of the world.

B. to reduce pollution and prodigal consumption.

C. to make sure that renewable natural resources are used sustainably.

D. to protect endangered species and their habitats.

Dịch bài

WWF. tên đầy đủ là Quỹ Toàn cầu về Thiên nhiên, là tổ chức quốc tế cam kết bảo tồn môi trường. Ở Bắc Mỹ, nó được gọi là Quỹ động vật hoang dã thế giới. Năm 1960, một nhóm các nhà tự nhiên học người Anh, nhà sinh vật học nổi tiếng Sir Julian Huxley, hoạ sĩ và nhà bảo tồn Peter Scott, và các nhà điểu cầm học Guy Mountfort và Max Nicholson đã nỗ lực thiết lập một tổ chức bảo vệ các loài có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng và môi trường sống của chúng. Năm sau, Quỹ Động vật hoang dã Thế giới được thành lập; tên quốc tế sau đó đã được đổi thành World Wide Fund for Nature vào năm 1989, mặc dù ở Hoa Kỳ và Canada, tên này vẫn giữ nguyên như tên sáng lập. Biểu tượng gấu trúc đặc biệt của tổ chức được tạo ra bởi Scott. Khi đối mặt với các mối đe dọa môi trường ngày càng tăng trong những năm tiếp theo, các hoạt động của WWF mở rộng trong phạm vi. Ngày nay, sứ mệnh của tổ chức này gồm 3 phần: để bảo tồn sự đa dạng sinh học của thế giới, để đảm bảo rằng việc sử dụng tài nguyên thiên nhiên tái tạo là bền vững, và thúc đẩy giảm ô nhiễm và tiêu thụ lãng phí. Tổ chức từ lâu đã bao gồm cả các nhà bảo tồn và doanh nhân với mục đích kết hợp dữ liệu khoa học vững chắc với hành động được quản lý tốt. Nó cũng tìm kiếm sự hợp tác giữa các tổ chức phi chính phủ, chính quyền địa phương và người dân địa phương. WWF làm việc chặt chẽ với Liên minh Bảo tồn Thế giới và đã hình thành quan hệ đối tác với Liên Hợp Quốc, Ngân hàng Thế giới và Liên minh Châu Âu.

WWF cung cấp tiền cho các sáng kiến bảo tồn trên toàn thế giới. Chúng bao gồm các chương trình tập trung vào các loài cá thế, rừng, và các vấn đề nước ngọt và biến cũng như biến đối khí hậu và thương mại quốc tế có trách nhiệm. Nhóm cũng đã tham gia vào các nỗ lực để cung cấp môi trường sống an toàn và bền vững cho các dân tộc trên thế giới, cả thành thị và nông thôn, bao gồm nước sạch, không khí trong lành, thực phẩm lành mạnh và các khu vực giải tri bổ ích. Trong số những thành tựu đáng chú ý của WWF là việc sử dụng các giao dịch hoán đổi nợ, trong đó một tổ chức mua một số khoản nợ nước ngoài của một quốc gia với mức chiết khấu, chuyển đổi tiền thành nội tệ và sử dụng nó để tài trợ cho các hoạt động bảo tồn. Cuộc hoán đổi nợ thành công đầu tiên của WWF diễn ra vào năm 1987 tại Ecuador.

Vào đầu thế kỷ 21, WWF đã hoạt động tại hơn 100 quốc gia và có hơn 5 triệu người ủng hộ. Trụ sở quốc tế của tổ chức này nằm ở Gland, Thug Si và có hơn 90 văn phòng trên toàn thế giới.

Among the WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in which an organization buys some of a country's foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap took place in 1987 in Ecuador.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more than five million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more than 90 offices around the world.
