Friends of Nature Greece, for ecology, society, culture
website: nfgr.org | email: [email protected]
Friends of Nature Greece was founded in 2007 and is a member organization of Friends of Nature (NFI), which in turn was founded in
1895 and has 500’000 members in approximately 50member and/or partner organisations throughout the globe.
NFGreece is also an umbrella organization with member/partner organizations throughout Greece. Hearing the name of the
organization one might think that our concern is only an ecological one. On the contrary, our interests and sphere of action is far more
than nature itself.
Although our main course of actions are on environmental and climate protection, urban environment, human rights, fair trade, social
justice, degrowth, sustainability, solidarity, education are also challenges that NaturefriendsGreece focus on. Another key element of
our beliefs is European and Global citizens cooperation.
Our thoughts and practise can be found in the following slogans: “Think globally, act locally”, “Man and nature before profits”, “Know
and protect nature”, “Environment is not only the air we breathe”. Last, but not least a slogan that emerged in Greece recently: “You are
not alone – Facing the economic crisis”.
