Natuurpunt

Natuurpunt is the biggest nature NGO in Belgium. Active in Flanders, they own and manage more than 30 000 hectares of nature, with habtitats across the full spectrum of from land dunes and heaths to peatlands and forests. It is a grassroots organisation whose strength lies in the vast number of nature enthousiasts and volunteers that support the organisation and its objectives. Through various partnerships with local governments, international parnters, knowledge institutes, and private companies, Natuurpunt realises ambitious nature restoration projects, many of which through EU programmes (LIFE, Interreg, Horizon).
Additionally, through various volunteer working groups and citizen science, various species groups (amogn others pollinators, birds, bats, amphibians) are closely monitored and trends assessed. These feed back into the restoration and management activities to ensure measures are science-based and efficient.
