Estonian Fund for Nature (ELF) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to nature conservation. Our mission is to preserve endangered species and their habitats, natural landscapes
and natural associations typical of Estonia. We promote the sustainable use of natural resources, raise environmental awareness in society and seek solutions for preserving a clean environment for future generations. We are a politically and economically independent non-governmental organization that provides society with the necessary expertise for nature conservation and helps unite the state and science institutions, businesses and active citizens in their efforts of protecting common natural resources. ELF was founded on February 1st, 1991 and became a Foundation in 1999. Through ELF’s initiatives, natural parks and wildlife preserves have been established and extensive inventories to map Estonia’s natural resources have been carried out.
