The European Nature Heritage Fund – EuroNatur is a non-profit foundation which stands up for the conservation of the European nature heritage on many different levels, e.g. via special species protection projects, renaturation measures, and site protection as well as political lobbying activities or environmental education.
EuroNatur projects are long-term and often cross-border projects aiming not only at the protection of nature, but also at an ecological development of the respective rural areas. Without considering the needs of the people, long-term protection of natural resources is not possible.
Therefore, EuroNatur always cooperates closely with regional partner organisations and local residents. Regional development and nature protection accompany each other. Like this, new jobs are created and the quality of life is improved.
