The Foundation's Network

Nationally and internationally, numerous nature and wildlife conservationists are committed with blood, sweat, tears and imagination to the realisation of the Foundation's statutory goals. On an honorary basis, the supervisory board members also provide advice and support to the Foundation's work. Thanks alone to the unbureaucratic, cost-efficient and trustful work of competent specialists in this network, we are able to successfully and consistently commit our resources to the benefit of endangered and threatened wildlife species, species diversity, and natural habitats.
