NABU's goal is to effectively protect animals (especially birds) and plants in their habitats, preserve a livable environment, and promote environmentally sustainable regional development. Specifically, this is achieved by purchasing and leasing land in order to develop it into valuable protected areas through maintenance—accompanied by surveys of fauna and flora and special species conservation projects. Through lectures, excursions, our magazine "NABUlletin," and discussion events, we raise public interest in ecology and nature conservation and take a stand on current issues. As a recognized state conservation association, we represent the interests of sustainable nature and environmental protection in official planning. Children's and youth groups are part of NABU Mainz.
