All over the world biodiversity is at risk, and with it the quality of human life. For NABU the motto „nature conservation beyond borders“ means to cooperate with international partners – always enthusiastic, with expertise and together with the local population on site. It also means not only to believe in a sustainable future, but to create it. With our headquarters in Germany and own branches in Ethiopia, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, we enable long-term conservation projects in our focus regions.
