Our Mission

HWF believes that protection and management of natural and cultural resources in Pakistan will improve the quality of life of the present and future generations. HWF aims to do this by transforming the local economies, behaviours and attitudes to achieve harmony and compatibility between the communities and their environment. HWF works to support and accelerate this process of change by helping the local communities assume ownership and control of their natural resources and heritage, and develop skills required for understanding and management of their environment. The lessons learnt have to be shared within and outside the country to support the development of effective policies and strategies for management of natural and cultural resources in developing countries.
