Pro Natura welcomes everybody wishing to contribute to conservation in Switzerland. Pro Natura was founded to create the only Swiss National Park in 1914 and has since helped to establish half of all protected areas in Switzerland. The creation and management of reserves is still one of the main tasks of Pro Natura. Pro Natura stands for a sustainable policy in all nature-related fields. It forms a pressure and lobbying group in cooperation with other national and international environmentalist organizations.
Legal action is taken if necessary to protect nature's rights.
Pro Natura explains the wonders of nature and the necessities of conservation. The Pro Natura Magazine is published five times a year and distributed free to all members . Media work, regular press releases and a variety of other publications contribute to our communication effort. Nature and environment education is an important field of Pro Natura activities. Campaigns designed for schools and classes as much as a documentation service for teachers give ideas and involve thousands of kids every year.
