In 1969, WWF began its trajectory in Peru with a project to recover the vicuña.

Our strategic focus is on three priority landscapes: Northern Amazon, Southern Amazon, and Pacific. Recognizing Peru's high vulnerability to climate change, we have integrated adaptation and mitigation strategies throughout our portfolio, ensuring a holistic and proactive approach to the conservation and protection of these critical ecosystems.
