ENABLING POSITIVE CHANGE
Our Mission for Nature Protection
Our mission is to improve the effectiveness of Natura 2000 and Protected Area managers by providing them with tailor-made courses and unique learning opportunities. That is why we have created the European Nature Academy.
European Nature Academy is a dynamic training hub with a range of practical courses and tailor-made learning activities. These are designed to help Natura 2000 & Protected Area managers in their work. The ENA will enable users to be more effective, competent and confident nature management professionals.
ENA will boost individual, organisational and national capacities for Natura 2000 management while simultaneously creating a body of replicable courses and tailor-made learning activities, making use of the full range of face-to-face, blended, and online possibilities.

Despite my 8+ years of experience in Protected Areas, this course provided a new and insightful perspective, particularly in exploring the complexity of Natura 2000 sites. It equipped me with practical insights for daily management, enhancing my effectiveness, competence, and confidence in nature management.
Going beyond the educational aspect, the course created valuable networking opportunities—a platform to exchange management challenges and successes with colleagues across Europe.
