About us
Welcome to the International Volunteers for WWF Switzerland Meetup! We are a group of English speaking individuals living in Switzerland who are passionate about supporting the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF).
This group was formed because we noticed a large number of volunteers who were eager to support WWF in Switzerland, and felt more comfortable communicating in English. All of our groups and meetings are in English. We are here to work alongside the other WWF groups, but also host events of our own. Of course, if you speak German/Swiss German/any other language, you are more than welcome to join us!
We host a wide variety of events, from rescuing migratory birds, to having an expert talk to us about solar energy, to learning about species and ecosystems... to just hanging out! We are open to your input and ideas, or even developing your own projects. Our events take place mostly in Zurich, Zug, Basel, and virtual events which we will specify this in the event title.

Switzerland is considered a very clean country. What not everyone knows: We also have a waste problem with a considerable impact on nature and the environment. On the Day of Good Deeds, we want to counteract this and carry out a clean-up together. To begin with, we hear an expert talk about the specific situation of waste and recycling in the city of Zurich. Our guest is Andreas Lindau, Head of the Circular Economy Group from the City of Zurich.
