Question:

What does WWF stand for in relation to the campaigns initiated for the conservation of wilderness habitats?

Options:

Worldwide Wildlife Fund

World Web Fund

World Wildlife Federation

World Wild Foundation

Correct Answer:

Worldwide Wildlife Fund

Explanation:

All of these campaigns focus on individual species as well as the conservation of the wilderness habitats, which support them. Many of the wilderness issues have been renamed biodiversity issues in recent times, as the concept of wilderness has been proved difficult to sell in the South. Many of these campaigns have been initiated and funded by NGOs such as the Worldwide Wildlife Fund (WWF), in association with local people.
