It has been active here since 1980, when Dr. George Schaller arrived to work with Chinese scientists on giant panda conservation. Today, WWF China has about 80 staff working on over 40 projects, from restoring the Yangtze river wetlands to environmental education and panda conservation.
In Hong Kong itself, 90 full-time staff are working in 5 offices located in Wanchai, Central, Tai Po, Mai Po and Hoi Ha Wan.
