    Profile
    NABU is the German partner of BirdLife Europe /BirdLife International. NABU, the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union, was founded already in 1899. Today, with more than 560.000 members and supporters, it is the oldest and largest nature conservation NGO in Germany. 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).

    Main EU files targeted

    Conservation of biodiversity, following the NABU motto “For man and nature”, especially the implementation of EU environmental law, are major topics for NABU and its groups. Besides nature conservation, NABU also works on agriculture and fisheries, climate and energy, air quality, circular economy, and sustainable transport. Additionally, NABU is very much engaged in the implementation of Germanys National Sustainability Strategy (NHS, 2002), National Biodiversity Strategy (NBS, 2007) and the EU Biodiversity Strategy (2011), and the 7. Environmental Action Programme (7. EAP).
