The Alfred Toepfer Academy for Nature Conservation (NNA) is a state institution under the administration of Lower Saxony’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Protection. It is NNA’s intention to act as a mediator between sciences, public administration, industry, and the public in order to demonstrate that while conservation is necessary for human life and well-being, it does not necessarily run counter to economic interests. The Academy provides research results that facilitate practical conservation work, and it makes these results accessible to the public through seminars and publications.

At the core of our training department, a comprehensive programme is offering competence training and possibilities for the exchange of knowledge and ideas in about 100 seminars and conferences every year. Administrators, political decision-makers, and many interested individuals make use of the opportunity to learn more about topics like conservation, communication and ESD. Results of research projects and training materials are published in a series of publications in German and partly in English.

NNA operates regionally with research projects and educational programmes; throughout Germany, with seminars and conferences; internationally, as a member of transregional expert groups and as a partner in cooperative projects.
