EECONET Action Fund

Since 1995

The goal of the EECONET Action Fund (EAF) is to fund third parties (semi-state governmental organisations e.g. National Parks - and non-governmental organisations) to buy or lease important natural sites that contribute to the Pan-European Ecological Network. The EAF operates as an independent fund for urgent conservation actions. It is a joint fund of Eurosite, EUCC The Coastal Union, Euronatur (European Natural Heritage Fund) and the ECNC (European Centre for Nature Conservation).

A Board consisting of member organisations and an independent President governs the EAF. To date, 158,870 hectares of land have been protected in 15 countries through 83 projects.
