Natagora

What we do: Natagora is a Belgian environmental association dedicated to protecting nature, primarily in Wallonia and Brussels. Its core mission is to halt biodiversity loss and restore a balanced natural environment in harmony with human activities. The organization focuses on biodiversity study, nature conservation, public involvement, and environmental education. It manages nearly 200 nature reserves, conducts scientific monitoring, and promotes sustainable land management practices.

Where we are located: Natagora's headquarters are located at Traverse des Muses 1, 5002 Namur, in the Walloon Region of Belgium. The association operates throughout Wallonia and Brussels, with no separate Belgian offices reported.

Short history: Natagora was founded in 2003 following the merger of two associations: AVES, focused on ornithology, and RNOB, dedicated to nature reserves. This fusion strengthened its mission to protect biodiversity and natural habitats. Since then, Natagora has grown into a key player in regional environmental conservation and a Belgian partner of BirdLife International.

Organization & culture: Natagora is a non-profit association supported by a large network of volunteers and members. It values scientific expertise, community engagement, and education to foster a culture of environmental stewardship. The organization emphasizes collaboration with public authorities, partners, and citizens to achieve its goals.
