About WWF Western Australia
The Australian office of WWF was established on 29 June 1978, with a staff of just three working out of an old factory in Sydney. Today we are proudly the largest conservation organisation in Australia, with more than 50,000 financial supporters and projects underway throughout Australia and the Oceania region.
