Selbach Environment Foundation
The Selbach Environment Foundation wants to make a contribution to the preservation and restoration of a livable and sustainable nature and environment as well as to a peaceful interaction of people with their natural environment. It was founded in 2003 by siblings Karl Heinrich Selbach and Erika Littmann in Munich .
The foundation's capital comes from a family fortune that has been generated in the textile industry over several generations.
The name giver is the father of the founder Erich Selbach .
The foundation supports third-party projects and is also operationally active in its own projects. There are currently four main areas of work:
- Promotion of nature and environmental education, especially for children and young people, as well as practical nature conservation.
- Educational work for adults in the field of "sustainable development", including through regular lecture events ("Munich Sustainability Forum").
- Promotion of ecologically oriented young scientists, among other things by awarding research prizes such as the Kapp Research Prize for Ecological Economy , the GAIA Masters Student Paper Award and a sustainability prize for scientific work by students at Munich universities
- Implementation of conferences and workshops as well as publication funding in the above-mentioned subject areas.
