Stiftung Umwelt- und Naturschutz Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The Environmental and Nature Conservation Foundation Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a public-law foundation of the state that has been committed since 1994 to the preservation and development of near-natural habitats in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It acquires and manages around 8,500 hectares of valuable land – from moors and forests to wet meadows – and supports projects in environmental education, landscape management, and research. With its own projects such as LIFE Limicodra and numerous cooperative initiatives, the foundation contributes to the protection of biodiversity, climate protection, and sustainable land use.

"For the richness of our nature": We preserve, develop, and expand near-natural habitats in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Through acquisition, maintenance, and professional management of protected areas, as well as the promotion of environmental education and research, we aim to conserve biological diversity and engage the public in nature and environmental protection.

Natural and legal persons under private and public law who implement measures in the fields of nature conservation, landscape management, or environmental education in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are eligible to apply and receive funding. The foundation particularly supports project proposals that align with the foundation's purposes in accordance with the Nature Conservation Implementation Act of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
