The Danske Naturfond (German: The National Nature Conservation Foundation in Denmark) is a Danish, privately run foundation, whose overriding goal is to improve the natural state and water quality in Denmark. The foundation works towards this goal by implementing measures to create and develop natural biotopes as well as to promote the habitats of flora and fauna. It is also the aim of the foundation to improve the conditions and opportunities for nature-friendly relaxation and for experiencing nature.
The fund was set up in January 2015 by the Danish government, the Villum Kann Rasmussen Fund and the Aage V. Jensen Naturfond .
history
On December 2, 2013, the Danish Prime Minister (Danish: statsminister) <-! Sic! -> Helle Thorning-Schmidt and the Environment Minister Ida Auken signed a contract on the part of the Danish state to establish a private-public and independent foundation Den Danske Naturfond , together with the two foundations Aage V. Jensen Naturfond and Villum Kann Rasmussen Fund . The Danish state gave 500 million Danish kroner (approx. 67 million euros), while the Villum fund provided 250 million kroner and the Aage V. Jensen fund contributed 125 million kroner. The state paid an annual operating subsidy of 49 million kroner (approx. 6.5 million euros). The Danish parliament (Folketing) passed the law on Den Danske Naturfond (Danish: Lov om Den Danske Naturfond ) on December 19, 2014 , and so the framework for the foundation's activities was defined.
For 2018, the Den Danske Naturfond is providing 15 million crowns to support small, local nature conservation projects.
Mols Bjerge
The first project of the Nature Fund was made public in March 2016. In cooperation with the Natural History Museum and the Molslabor (Danish: Molslaboratoriet), a 180 hectare Mols Bjerge National Park was to be created and then wild horses were to be exposed in a 10-year trial period.
Kollunder forest
In October 2017, Danske Naturfond acquired the Kollunder Forest (130 ha) on the Flensburg Fjord and would like to turn it into a limitless natural paradise. The forest is unique in Denmark because its southern location means that it is home to many animal and plant species that are not found in northern parts of the country due to the climate. Den Danske Naturfond has taken over the forest for 16.75 million crowns . The total budget is 20 million crowns. Parts of the forest should remain untouched, other sections will be subjected to renaturation before they too are left to their own devices. With the purchase and the original design of the forest, Naturfond and the municipality of Aabenraa hope to upgrade the 74 km long gendarme path that leads through the Kollund forest.
Mandø island
In 2017, Den Danske Naturfond bought 127 hectares of land on the Danish wadden island of Mandø in order to permanently protect the migratory birds and the unique nature on the island. This means that 175 hectares of land are now under protection. The foundation is using 12 million Danish. Crowns on.
