About WWF Northern Ireland
WWF Northern Ireland, part of WWF-UK and based in Belfast, works on issues from a uniquely Northern Irish perspective.
It focuses on policy work and lobbying to ensure that environmental and sustainability issues remain high on the local political and media agendas.
WWF Northern Ireland is a small team which, through policy work and communications, campaigns for change on global issues which are affected by our lifestyles in Northern Ireland. These include:
Oceans
Harbour porpoise, Atlantic salmon and the kelp forests found off the Antrim coast are just some of the distinctive wildlife and habitats found in Northern Ireland waters.
Tackling climate change
Due to an abundance of natural resources such as wind, wave and agricultural land, Northern Ireland has great potential for the production of renewable energy. However, these resources are yet to be fully exploited.
Rivers and lakes
Northern Ireland's rivers are the natural veins and arteries of our countryside. They have helped carve the landscape and play host to a spectacle of plants and animals.
Sustainable development
Northern Ireland has the largest ecological footprint in the UK - that means we use up far more than our share of the world's resources
