Association for Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development Sunce is a non-profit organisation committed to the protection of nature and environment in Croatia. Our aim is conservation of nature and environment as fundamental values of society, and acceptable management of natural resources by application of sustainable development. Croatian citizens are our target groups, because we protect the interests and the public's right to healthy environment and create solutions to conservation and rational use of natural resources. All of the activities and projects are based on two programmes: The Nature Conservation Programme and The Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Programme.
