WWF has had a presence in Laos since the late 1980s, with the WWF-Laos office officially established in 2001. Today, our head office is in Vientiane Capital, with field offices across the country and more than 75 staff members working with partners to deliver effective conservation. WWF-Laos is part of WWF’s Southeast Asia subregional office and is supported by WWF International and WWF offices worldwide.
OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD A FUTURE WHERE THE PEOPLE OF LAOS CAN THRIVE AND LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE.
By working in partnership with the Government of Laos, the private sector, communities, and local and international organizations, we can address threats to biodiversity and habitat loss and move toward a greener, nature-based future for the long-term benefit of both people and wildlife.
Turning Vision Into Action: Our 5-Year Strategy
OUR VISION: We envision a vibrant and sustainable future for Laos, shaped by inclusive conservation that protects biodiversity, ensures equitable benefits, and nurtures harmony between people and the environment.
OUR GOAL: We aim to achieve significant conservation progress across our priority landscapes by preventing local extinction, protecting and restoring critical forests, improving freshwater ecosystem health, and helping communities adapt to climate change through nature-based solutions – all through strong partnerships and collective action.
CONSERVATION PROGRAMME
WWF-Laos has structured its conservation efforts around four interconnected thematic programmes: wildlife, forests, freshwater and circular resilience. This integrated approach tackles the complex, interrelated threats to Laos’ biodiversity and ecosystems, while amplifying impact through coordinated, landscape-level interventions. These four pillars build on WWF-Laos’ previous strategic framework, demonstrating both their continued relevance and proven effectiveness.
The current strategy enhances this foundation with clearer, measurable targets that align with key global and national priorities – including WWF’s global Roadmap 2030, Lao PDR’s National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plan (NBSAP), and international commitments related to the United Nations’ Global Biodiversity Framework, Framework Convention on Climate Change and Sustainable Development Goals.
