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 deepening crisis of nature loss. A growing realization that nature is our life-support system. And that nobody will be spared from the impacts of its loss. Here at WWF, we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.

Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of expertise, ranging from HR and finance to advocacy and conservation science. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us create a better future for people and wildlife.

What we do

We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to business and government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainably.

About WWF-Vietnam

WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a diverse range of environmental issues and implemented field activities across the country. Find out more at http://vietnam.panda.org/. WWF recognizes that its employees are its most important asset. A competent workforce, thoroughly trained, properly motivated and bound together by mutual trust and common objectives is crucial to the success of WWF. 

There are about 150 million tonnes of plastic waste floating across oceans, and about 8 million tons discharged into our oceans every year. Marine plastic waste damages marine life, ecosystems and commercially valuable species.

Vietnam is among the group of the countries that discharge the most plastic waste into the oceans. According to the World Bank statistics, it is estimated that Vietnam generated over 31 million tons of domestic waste and nearly 5 million tons of marine plastic waste in 2018 alone.

On February 5, 2021, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development signed a decision approving the action plan for marine plastic waste management in the fisheries sector in the period 2020-2030, setting out the goal of minimizing plastic waste in fisheries. To achieve these goals, the action plan also outlines 5 key missions and solutions, including:

• Generate/Raise awareness, sense of responsibility, and behavior change of fishermen and related stakeholders;

• Develop and complete legislative documents on marine plastic waste management in the fisheries sector;

• Mitigate marine plastic waste, collect, separate waste from source, reuse, recycle and step by step replace using appropriate materials in the fisheries sector;

• Conduct scientific research, apply, develop and transfer technologies related to marine plastic waste management in the fisheries sector;

• Strengthen international cooperation.
