Effective nature conservation depends on the engagement of all of society. Strengthening partnerships with local communities to protect wildlife and conserve natural resources is about respecting different worldviews and relationships with nature, many of which are deeply rooted in religious and spiritual traditions. As 85% of local communities around the world affiliate with a religion, the WWF Beliefs & Values Programme (BVP) integrates partnerships with faith-based organisations and faith-based approaches into WWF's work, supporting organizations of all faiths to engage in faith-based conservation.

The BVP is creating a learning platform that consolidates information and learning on faith and nature conservation; where faith and conservation actors can strengthen their capacity through knowledge, resources and learning on faith-based approaches; where they can be inspired through examples; where they can appreciate the value of faith-based approaches for their work; and where they can share experiences and connect with each other.
