World Wide Flora & Fauna in amateur radio, abbreviated as WWFF (WWFF), is an international amateur radio program, the purpose of which is to:
 
‘draw attention to the importance of protecting nature, flora and fauna, and to encourage the development of radio skills, especially in portable operations’.
 

The WWFF program encourages amateur radio operators to operate portable from designated parks and/or protected nature areas around the world, and in turn generate attention for these areas, whilst providing the amateur radio community an interesting and rewarding activity.
​
