NABU Kreisverband MindenLübbecke

The NABU Kreisverband Minden-Lübbecke is a dynamic and committed organization that has been advocating for the protection of nature, landscapes, and the environment in the district for years. With about 2400 members, the association is the largest environmental organization in the region and part of the nationwide and federal network of the Nature Conservation Association Germany (NABU).

Our main mission is the promotion of nature, landscape, and environmental protection. NABU Minden-Lübbecke is non-partisan and is solely committed to a livable environment. We believe that a strong community of supporters is crucial to halt the ongoing destruction of nature and to influence political decisions.

• Environmental Education: The NABU Visitor Center Moorhus serves as a central educational institution for sustainable development. Here we offer experiential educational programs for people of all ages, focusing on the Great Peat Bog and the diverse landscapes of the district[3].
• Conservation Projects: We are involved in various projects, such as owl and stork protection, the protection of wading and meadow birds, and the maintenance of valuable habitats like meadows, moors, and forests[1][2].
• Research and Political Advocacy: NABU conducts studies to provide strong arguments for nature conservation and advocates for issues such as bird protection, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energies in public discussions[2].

• Protection of Endangered Species: We support initiatives like the "People's Initiative for Biodiversity" and advocate for the protection of endangered species to prevent species extinction[4].
• Climate-Friendly Mobility: NABU Minden-Lübbecke collaborates with other environmental and transport associations to promote a climate-friendly transport transition, particularly through the preservation and expansion of railway lines[5].
