The Estonian Fund for Nature (Eestimaa Looduse Fond, ELF) is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to nature conservation.
ELF was founded on 1 February 1991, by 41 Estonian naturalists and experts. Our logo animal is a rare flying squirrel that lives in the cavities of old aspens.
We are a politically and economically independent organisation that provides society with the expertise necessary for nature conservation, which uses the best expertise, innovative solutions and everyone’s help in its work.
We work each day to protect endangered species and their habitats, natural landscapes and communities characteristic of Estonia – the sea, wetlands, and forests. To this end, we contribute to the sustainable use of natural resources, increase environmental awareness and look for solutions to preserve a clean living environment for future generations. In its activities, ELF adheres to the code of ethics of non-governmental organisations.
