Naturschutzbund Deutschland e.V.

Non-governmental organisations, platforms and networks and similar

NABU, the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union, was founded already in 1899. Today, with more than 960.000 members and supporters, it is the oldest and largest nature conservation NGO in Germany.

The purpose of NABU is to promote nature conservation, landscape management and animal welfare, with a particular focus on wild birds, and to advocate for environmental protection, including educational and research work in the aforementioned areas.

NABU is the German partner of BirdLife Europe / BirdLife International. NABU is a registered charity under German law (eingetragener, gemeinnütziger Verein). Due to the federal structure of Germany with shared responsibilities for nature conservation between the federal government and the governments of the 16 Federal States (Laender), NABU has 15 regional branches, and more than 2.000 local groups. In Bavaria, NABU is represented by the “Landesbund fuer Vogelschutz” (LBV, www.lbv.de).
