Onward to January 1995, WWF Thailand opened its own project office and became a WWF Thailand Programme Office in July 1999.WWF Thailand and WWF Indochina (Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam) merged on 1 November 2005 to become the WWF Greater Mekong Programme. The programme works on regional and national projects across the 4 countries and focuses on 3 key ecoregions recognized within the WWF Global 200 ecoregions.
