WWFF is an International and NON-COMMERCIAL programm, run by the coordinators of a large number of National Flora & Fauna programms. The Program was launched in 2008 and but uses the activity databeases of the participating members (containing activities from early 1995) as collected in the WWFF logsearch and builds upon the rules.
