 JOB OPPORTUNITY

     *Programme Manager – Species, Forest and Freshwater, WWF-Laos*



*Join one of the world's largest and most respected conservation
organisations! *

WWF has been a strong, credible and recognized global force in the world of
conservation for the past half-century as we have strived to deliver on our
mission of building a world where people thrive in harmony with nature. WWF
has been working in Laos in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture
and Forestry since the late 1980’s and opened the country programme office
in Vientiane in 2001. Since then, our team has grown to over 40 Lao and
international staff, with offices in Vientiane, Savannakhet, Champassak,
Salavan and Sekong provinces. WWF-Laos is part of the Regional Office of
Asia-Pacific and works closely with the other countries in the Greater
Mekong region (Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia).

With our 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, we aim to increase our conservation
impact by focusing on direct threats to wildlife, forests, and freshwater
ecosystems, and by ensuring conservation initiatives eventually benefit the
livelihoods of local and indigenous people. Our vision for Laos is that the
human footprint stays within the country’s capacity to maintain the full
spectrum of biological diversity and ecosystems, and the key services they
provide, in order to enhance Lao people’s livelihood resilience and
contribute to the sustainable conservation of the overall ecological
integrity of the Greater Mekong region.
