The Stiftung Naturschutz Schleswig-Holstein, founded in 1978 by the state of Schleswig-Holstein, is a public law foundation with the central goal of promoting nature conservation in Schleswig-Holstein through the securing and development of agricultural and forestry areas.
The foundation is committed to the preservation and promotion of biological diversity, the protection of endangered species, and the restoration of near-natural habitats. It advocates for a colorful and livable Schleswig-Holstein by bringing not only professional expertise but also passion, creativity, and courage for innovative solutions into its work. The foundation operates on the basis of flat hierarchies, where every employee takes responsibility and mistakes are accepted as part of the learning process[5].
The foundation finances its projects from various sources, including interest income from the foundation's assets, project-related state grants, federal and EU funds, donations, rental income, and funds transferred as compensation for interventions in the natural balance. The foundation is led by a two-member board and supervised by a 15-member foundation council. The Ministry of Energy Transition, Agriculture, Environment, Nature, and Digitalization of the state of Schleswig-Holstein acts as the supervisory authority[1][5].
The Stiftung Naturschutz Schleswig-Holstein is a reliable partner in nature conservation, developing and implementing sustainable conservation goals through cooperation with all relevant stakeholders, from authorities to municipalities to local farmers and hunters.
