Pro Natura
 Switzerland  |  Environment

To support a sustainable policy in all nature-related fields.

Pro Natura is a private non-profit organization founded in 1909. It's the largest conservation organization in Switzerland. Pro Natura welcomes everybody wishing to contribute to conservation in Switzerland. Pro Natura stands for a sustainable policy in all nature-related fields. It forms a pressure and lobbying group in cooperation with other national and international environmentalist organizations. Legal action is taken if necessary to protect nature's rights. Pro Natura is founding member of The World Conservation Union IUCN and the Swiss member of Friends of the Earth International. Pro Natura takes part in regional networks such as Friends of the Earth Europe and the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps CIPRA. Projects are under way in Bulgaria (Bulgarian-Swiss-Biodiversity-Conservation Programme) and with FOE Macedonia (NGO capacity building). Pro Natura created the only Swiss National Park and has, since 1914, helped to establish half of all protected areas in Switzerland. The creation and management of reserves is still one of the main tasks of Pro Natura.
