History of WWF In 1960 the biologist Sir Julian Huxley returned from a research trip to Africa deeply shaken from what he had seen ;runaway habitat destruction and uncontrolled hunting of endangered species which later could have led them to extinction. Huxley shared his thoughts with some fellow biologists and together they created WWF. Where WWF Works WWF works to save wildlife and its habitats in more than 50 countries over the 7 continents. The largest member of the WWF network is the USA where 1.2 million people are members. WWF works on a global scale, protecting the Himalayas to the Brazilian Amazon, Galapagos to the Arctic Ocean. So as you can see, WWF works over huge parts of the world, to help wildlife and its habitats.
