ABOUT US
History
Founded in 1991, the Lithuanian Fund for Nature (LFN) was one of the first independent conservation organizations in Lithuania. The organization was founded with the aim of addressing environmental challenges and preserving biodiversity. Since then, the LFN has been involved in protecting rare species and habitats, restoring waterways, and promoting the sustainable use of forest and agricultural resources.
Over the past three decades, the LFN has implemented numerous significant projects and contributed to the creation of the Natura 2000 network and the implementation of EU environmental policy in Lithuania. The LFN has also prioritized public education and community involvement in nature conservation.
Today, the LFN remains one of the most important conservation organizations, continuing its work to ensure biodiversity and sustainability.
