Now known as the World Wide Fund for Nature. It is an international non-governmental organisation, working in wilderness preservation, and the reduction of human intervention on the environment.
Julian Huxley and Max Nicolson were two of the founders of the organisation. The original panda logo was designed by Sir Peter Scott.
