The Austrian Nature Conservation Union, a non-profit, independent association in which all nature-loving people with a corresponding commitment are warmly welcomed, celebrates its 100th anniversary. Reason enough for the publication of its own special stamp, the motif of which, in addition to the institution's logo, also shows an endangered kingfisher with its wings wide open. As the oldest Austrian nature conservation organization, the Nature Conservation Society has been actively involved in the long-term preservation of nature and its diversity since its foundation in 1913. The approximately 80,000 members are organized in nine state and numerous regional groups, the federal office is located in Salzburg, where nationwide topics and actions are centrally coordinated. The exact founding date is December 1, 1913, when the "Association for Regional Studies of Lower Austria" with the then chairman Günther Schlesinger for the first time issued the "Leaves for Conservation and Natural History" (later "Nature and Land"). It was one of the first media in Austria to focus on nature conservation. Already a year earlier, in 1912, founded a forest scientist named Adolf Ritter von Guttenberg the Austrian association "Nature Park" - this was converted on February 4, 1924 in the "Austrian Nature Conservation Union". Reason was the urge of some circles to extend the activity to all areas of nature conservation; Until then, the club was primarily concerned with the protection of the homeland and the preservation of monuments. Schlesinger, who was a conservator at the Lower Austrian Provincial Museum, achieved after the name change, that the leaves could also be delivered to the members of the Austrian Nature Conservation Union. How networked at that time the "nature protection scene" was already, shows that the sheets also the Austrian teacher association for natural science and the specialized office for nature protection as a communication organ served. The first common address of the respective editors and the nature conservation association was the noble Herrengasse in Vienna. Countless sustainable actions, of course, testify to the active presence of the Austrian Nature Conservation Union in a very impressive way. Whether it is a petition for the protection of the Vienna Woods and Meadow Belt, convincing signatures, committed anti-nuclear initiatives or large-scale nature-free action - the Nature Conservation Union is always a reliable partner and a responsible fighter for conservation our nature.
