WWF
Established in 1961, WWF operates in more than 100 countries working for a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. They are currently funding around 2,000 conservation projects and employ almost 4,000 people across the planet.
The organization is almost unique in that it has that local presence to global presence - talking to tribes of Baka pygmies in the central African rainforests, through to face-to-face discussions with institutions such as the World Bank and the European Commission. But at every stage WWF works with local people, it works with partners, it works with its donors. Nothing - absolutely nothing - would have been possible or remain possible without them.

The Ecotourism Society of Kenya (ESOK) was founded in 1996 to provide a unique forum where members would comprehend the concept of ecotourism and use this knowledge to improve performance in line with the principles of ecotourism.
In particular, it was envisaged that ESOK would provide leadership in development of standards for best practice tourism, especially ecotourism, and ensure that equity is achieved among all stakeholders. Founded on strong principles and with enormous industry support, ESOK was thus charged with a dual role of providing the required support for the development of ecotourism and promoting sustainable tourism practices.
