Members:

EuroNatur is a foundation and therefore has no members. However, EuroNatur is in close contact to several international and 60 national partner organisations in 23 countries (including Germany). Furthermore, EuroNatur is funded by sponsors such as Deutsche Lufthansa AG.

Aims:

EuroNatur aims to protect endangered wildlife and its habitats and to support sustainable regional development. These aims are advanced through local, regional and cross-border cooperation. A further objective is to link up practical nature conservation with research, policymaking and business. EuroNatur also carries out and funds environmental education activities.

Operation:

EuroNatur has built up an international network of over 300 nature conservation practitioners, scientists and environment experts. It works with other organisations in almost 40 countries around the world to conserve nature and promote sustainable regional development. The Foundation ensures that environmental, business and policymaking concerns are addressed in all project activities it carries out and coordinates.

EuroNatur has its head office in Radolfzell, southern Germany, German branch offices in Bonn and Ludwigsburg and an Austrian branch office in Graz. The Presiding Committee is made up of a President, Vice President and three ordinary members. There is also a Conservation Policy Director.

EuroNatur is funded from investment earnings on its foundation capital and from donations. Extra financial support is obtained for EURONATUR projects from state agencies and private-sector sponsors.

EuroNatur has the seal of approval of the Deutsches Zentralinstitut für soziale Fragen, a highly regarded endorsement for charities indicating transparent, economical and charter-compliant use of funds together with honesty and objectivity in promotional copy and images used for fund-raising.
