BUND Landesverband Brandenburg e.V.

The Federation for Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) Brandenburg is a significant player in the field of environmental and nature conservation in Brandenburg. Founded in 1991 from the Federation for Nature and Environment, BUND Brandenburg now has over 8,000 members, making it one of the largest environmental associations in the region.

BUND Brandenburg is engaged in a variety of areas aimed at protecting the environment and nature. Key activities include:

• Nature Conservation: BUND operates the Nature Conservation Center Schlaubemühle in the Schlaubetal Nature Park, which offers ideal conditions for exploring and protecting untouched nature.
• Environmental Education and Activism: The organization advocates for issues such as genetically modified organism-free food, a toxin-free environment, the preservation of nature, and 100% renewable energies through campaigns, protests, and projects.
• Voluntary Engagement: Numerous volunteer groups are active in the region, engaging in the maintenance of conservation areas, mobilizing against factory farming, and conducting educational work.

The main mission of BUND Brandenburg is to protect the environment and nature to ensure a livable future for all. The organization is organized in a grassroots democratic manner, allowing all members to actively participate in the association's work. BUND advocates for nature, clean air, clean water, and healthy food, and primarily finances itself through private donations to represent its positions freely and independently.

BUND Brandenburg pursues several sustainability goals and initiatives:

• Climate Protection: The organization urges political decision-makers to take climate policy measures and promotes the transition to 100% renewable energies.
• Species Protection: BUND is involved in the anti-poaching alliance to protect animals like the wolf from illegal killing.
• Tree Protection: The organization supports the push for a statewide tree protection regulation.
• Water Protection: BUND emphasizes the importance of sustainable water use and engages in relevant projects and events.

BUND Youth, the independent youth organization of BUND, activates children and young people for environmental and nature conservation. In many regions of Brandenburg, there are volunteer groups that advocate for important environmental policy issues locally.

BUND Brandenburg offers many opportunities to actively engage in environmental and nature conservation and invites all interested parties to become part of this important work.
