The Wildlife Watch Group, better known as WWG was established by group of journalists and wildlife experts in October 1993 as informal group who wished to study and monitor issues regarding illegal wildlife trade. In May 2002 it became a full fledge registered NGO in Nepal and is associated with Social Welfare Council (SWC) that focus mainly on wildlife trade related issues in nation and region.

Since its inception, WWG has been instrumental in alerting and educating the public on various wildlife issues. It has also been active in urging and reminding the concerned authorities of their responsibilities towards the protection and conservation of wildlife by implementing CITES regulations. Side by side it is also monitoring the wildlife trade and advocating against illegal trade of wildlife and its products.

WWG is run by the experts from various fields - wildlife expert, scientist, journalist, former park managers, conservationist, environment activists etc. It has four group of members – Media Group, Activities Group, Law & Policies Group and Scientist Group.

Its administration consists of the chairman, secretary, treasurer and members.

Other members of executive committee serve as consultant and advise the chairman regarding program development and policies.
