BELIEVE

IN BETTER

Dr Morné Du Plessis the CEO of WWF South Africa

"These three words believe in better  are a balm against the constant barrage of negativity we face from all directions. They are a candid, uplifting reminder of the value of believing in something good."

- Dr Morné du Plessis | CEO WWF South Africa

The intensifying climate crisis. Accelerating nature loss. The rising cost of living, and a struggling economy. These challenges might feel insurmountable. 

But there is HOPE.  

WWF has been doing important science-based work in South Africa for more than 55 years. By putting people and nature first, we are improving the lives and livelihoods of South Africans and taking care of the environment.  

The successes of this holistic approach are why we stay hopeful and invite you to believe in better. With belief, we have the power to do almost anything – especially when we work together. This is why we want to get to know you better – so we can do more, together.
