Estonian Fund for Nature (ELF)
Eestimaa Looduse FondEstonia - Non-Governmental organisation
Estonian Fund for Nature (ELF) is a non-profit, non-governmental environmental organization established in 1991. It has been registered as a foundation.
The mission of ELF (Eestimaa Looduse Fond - Estonian Fund for Nature) is to preserve the rich natural diversity in Estonia and the world through active cooperation with individuals, business enterprises, organizations and state institutions through the following activities: protection of endangered species and their habitats; preservation of characteristic Estonian landscapes and habitats; promotion of sustainable use of natural resources; raising public awareness about environmental issues; finding solutions to preserve a clean environment for future generations.
ELF is involved with the WWF Baltic Ecoregion Action Programme. The WWF Baltic Ecoregion Action Programme (BEAP) is an ambitious, broad scale, integrated approach that aims to conserve and, where necessary, restore the full range of biodivercity of the Baltic Sea. It is grounded in science and blended with innovative strategies and bold ambition. Its focus encompasses the whole drainage area of the Baltic Sea and promotes integrated land, coastal and marine management to strengthen the local and regional capacity to achieve sustainable management of the Baltic Sea resources.
This year ELF also started with a project called Protection against oil pollution in the Gulf on Finland. Where the main partner is WWF Finland. In order to increase readiness to combat oil pollution on the shores of the Gulf of Finland there is a demand for trained people, necessary equipment to deal with the matter and improvement of existing systems.
