As a multi-country, self-governing member of the global WWF network, WWF Central and Eastern Europe (WWF-CEE) is active in seven countries of Central and Southeastern Europe - Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Moldova. WWF works to preserve the Green Heart of Europe with the continent's greatest wetland, forest and wilderness areas:
- Europe's most spectacular remaining wilderness areas outside of Russia, including the southern Carpathians and the Danube Delta.
- The largest remaining area of virgin and natural forests in Europe outside of northern Scandinavia and Russia.
- Most of Europe's last remaining intact rivers and wetlands, including the globally important Lower Danube Green Corridor and the Mura-Drava-Danube corridor, "Europe's Amazon".
- Two-thirds of the European populations of large carnivores, including bears, lynx and wolves.
- The Danube sturgeons that survived the end of the dinosaurs but now teeter on the edge of extinction.
