Projects

The aim of the Stiftung Artenschutz is to preserve highly endangered animal species and their habitats, therefore making an important contribution to conserving biodiversity. The foundation focuses on animal species (and their natural environment) which, although under severe threat of global extinction do not have a strong enough lobby for their conservation.

To ensure a long-term impact for the survival of endangered species, the Stiftung Artenschutz cooperates with renowned nature conservation organisations, zoological gardens and other institutions around the world.
