A pioneer of environmental conservation, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh is widely considered the founding father of the world conservation movement. Prince Philip was the first President of WWF-UK from its foundation in 1961 to 1982, and President of WWF-International from 1981 to 1996. On his retirement, he became our President Emeritus - a position he still holds today. As President of WWF, Philip worked to protect important threatened species including the rhino, tiger, and panda and developed the first global certification and labelling scheme for sustainable seafood products.
