Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home, the Earth? Working at WWF could be your opportunity of a lifetime.

All around the world, people are waking up to the devastating impacts of climate change and nature loss. The situation today is worse than the darkest predictions of just ten years ago, pushing billions of people to the edge and threatening lives and livelihoods.  At WWF, we are facing our biggest crisis – and our biggest ever opportunity – to create a better future for people and nature.  With over 60 years of experience and an active presence in more than 100 countries, we work to achieve both on-the-ground and global policy action, from protecting and restoring species and their habitats, to transforming markets and policies toward sustainability.

Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of expertise, ranging from conservation science and advocacy to HR and finance. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us tackle this enormous global challenge and drive the urgent conservation impact needed to restore our planet.

What We Do

We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and the ecosystem. From individuals and communities to businesses and governments, we are part of a growing global movement calling for bolder action on climate and nature, demanding that world leaders set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. WWF works to address the most dominant drivers of nature loss through system-wide changes in how food and energy are produced and consumed, and in how financial systems are structured. By implementing change in every country, we aim to drive visible and positive impacts on the ground, helping to restore nature in the most critical places around the world, from the Amazon to the Coral Triangle.

Engaging everyone means addressing the barriers to participation faced by some groups in society, including local communities. Conservation will only be sustainable if it is owned by, and benefits, local people. That’s why Indigenous Peoples and local communities must be at the centre of action on climate and nature. WWF is committed to using its resources and global network to support these communities in creating together the most effective solutions where they live.

Humanity is still in time, we have a clear pathway to solve this crisis. At WWF, we call on everyone to join the global movement, change how we live, and take action now.

I. Background

The Mekong supports fisheries in four countries, amounting to 2.6 million tons of fish each year, and provides more than 75% of the animal protein and 35% of the total protein intake of the population. People living along the Mekong are therefore highly dependent on natural resource extraction. The Mekong is also globally irreplaceable for biodiversity conservation; it is second only to the Amazon in terms of fish biodiversity and supports some of the world's largest freshwater species, such as the endangered Mekong giant catfish and giant freshwater stingray.

However, the Mekong mainstream is becoming heavily impacted by regional economic development, including infrastructure construction and sand and gravel extraction. These activities have significant impacts on the spawning grounds of many fish species, which are becoming increasingly at risk due, in part, to changes in the ecology of deep pools. These pools may become silted up through sediment release from dams or scoured out due to “hungry water.”

Water resource management is becoming increasingly important in Thailand because of rising demand for water, growing threats to water quality, and changes in water availability due to climate change. WWF has conducted several projects in the Songkhram River Basin (SRB) and Nong Han Wetland to address these issues.
