Danish Society for Nature Conservation

The Danish Society for Nature Conservation, in Danish Danmarks Naturfredningsforening, founded 1911, is an incorporated non-governmental organization based in Denmark. It works for environmental protection and biodiversity, improved environmental legislation, consideration for the natural environment in public planning, and public access to natural resources.

The Society is a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.[1] Its name has been translated into English in several different ways, including Danish Nature Preservation Foundation,[2] Danish Society for the Conservation of Nature,[3] and Danish Society for Nature Preservation,[4] but 'Danish Society for Nature Conservation' is the English term which the society uses itself.[5]
