Founded in 1899, NABU (Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union), is one of the oldest and largest environment associations in Germany. The association encompasses more than 700,000 members and sponsors, who commit themselves to the conservation of threatened habitats, flora and fauna, to climate protection and energy policy.


NABU's main objectives are the preservation of habitats and biodiversity, the promotion of sustainability in agriculture, forest management and water supply and distribution, as well as to enhance the significance of nature conservation in our society.


About 40,000 volunteers play an active role in practical nature conservation work, with great success: this is something that is special to NABU. These active NABU members look after more than 110,000 hectares of valuable protected reserves in Germany. NABU also has volunteer groups working on an international level to conserve nature and combat poverty in Africa, Eurasia and the Caucasus. This work is supported by professionals at our regional offices and at our national headquarters in Berlin, who take care of public relations, project development and management and political lobbying.

NAJU, NABU’s own youth organisation, has more than 85,000 young members. It is the biggest environment organisation for young people in Germany. It offers a framework for children and young adults aged 6 to 27 to protect nature and the environment.

Climate Protection and Preservation of Primary Forests – A Management Model using the Wild Coffee Forests in E

General

The project objective is to preserve 200,000 ha of cloud forest in Kafa, the region of southwestern Ethiopia where coffee originated. Up to two million tons of CO2 emissions will be prevented over the course of the project term through reforestation, establishment of the first Ethiopian biosphere reserve, and introduction of management methods that conserve forest resources. Tried and proven processes of participatory management will be used to integrate climate protection and climate adaptation measures.
