WWF
WWF took the initiative of organizing the BiD Nature Challenge in 2008 and 2009 - this was the first Challenge focussed on businesses in developing countries with the aim of nature conservation.
Established in 1961, WWF operates in more than 100 countries.
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.
