The European Centre for Nature Conservation is an independent organization working for the conservation and sustainable use of Europe's nature, biodiversity and landscapes. ECNC stimulates cooperation between science, policy and economy for the sake of biodiversity and people in Europe. It does so by providing sound scientific expertise in support of governmental policies and by promoting the integration of biodiversity considerations into other sectors of society. In its approach, ECNC combines vision with practical approaches and applicable expertise.

ECNC actively promotes, by bridging the gap between science and policy, the conservation of nature and especially of biodiversity in Europe, because of their intrinsic values and their relevance to the economy and European culture; thereby ECNC seeks the integration of nature conservation considerations into other policies.
