<<<The Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature (HSPN)
is the oldest environmental NGO in Greece.
It was founded in 1951 and functions as a non-profit society.
HSPN has been instrumental in the creation of most Greek National Parks,
Ramsar wetlands and many other protected areas. It has also played a
leading role in the efforts to protect endangered species.
Today, it is active along four axes:
Environmental Education
Nature protection programmes
Environmental intervention
General Public awareness
To carry out its mission, it relies on an extensive network of
volunteers and on subscriptions and gifts of its members,grants from
institutions and companies and, for certain nature-protection
programmes, on governmental and European funding.
HSPN represents in Greece the Foundation for Environmental Education
(FEE) and the Centre Naturopa of the Council of Europe. It is also a
member of important international conservation organisations,
e.g.IUCN, EEB, ECNC, EUCC and others. It works closely with other
Greek environmental organisations and public authorities.
For its work, it has been honoured by the Academy of Athens, the
Council of Europe and the Ford Foundation.
