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
For more than 50 years, WWF has worked to safeguard the future of nature. Operating in over 100 countries and supported by nearly five million members worldwide, WWF combines global reach with a strong scientific foundation to deliver solutions that balance the needs of people and nature.

The Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex (KKFC) lies within the transboundary Dawna Tenasserim Landscape (DTL), the largest contiguous forested area in mainland Southeast Asia, covering approximately 18,000 km². Around 81.6% of the landscape remains forested (Global Forest Watch, 2018), including extensive protected areas such as Thailand’s Western Forest Complex (WEFCOM). The DTL spans the Dawna and Tenasserim mountain ranges, forms a critical regional watershed, and provides essential habitat for a wide range of endangered and endemic species across Thailand and Myanmar.

In response to the conservation importance of this landscape, WWF-Thailand is launching the Rewilding the Dawna Tenasserim Program, a five-year initiative to restore the Tenasserim Corridor—a 120 km natural linkage connecting Thailand’s two key tiger landscapes, the Western Forest Complex and the Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex, both World Heritage Sites.
The program will work with local communities, government agencies, and landholders to strengthen community forest management, improve habitat connectivity within remaining forest areas, and reduce the impacts of infrastructure barriers on wildlife movement. Ultimately, the program aims to halt forest fragmentation and restore ecological connectivity, supporting the long-term movement and survival of wildlife across the Tenasserim Corridor.
