| The aim of Natuurpunt (partner of Birdlife International) is to protect the remaining nature in Flanders through buying and managing land, protecting species, running awareness programs for a general and specific public and lobbying local and regional governments. The work of volunteers and the support of the regional government is essential for acquiring, managing and monitoring our nature reserves. The input of the volunteers ensures the involvement of the local communities in our projects. Natuurpunt tries to open all nature reserves to the public including disabled persons by guiding them along trails and to bird hides. All disclosed reserves are free of entrance fees. Natuurpunt has working groups on lots of aspects of nature study: birds, amphibians and reptiles, bats and other mammals, plants and insects. Volunteers and professionals are monitoring species and habitats in and outside our nature reserves. The policy department of Natuurpunt is trying to influence the political agenda on structural planning, dune, forest and water management, agriculture and the protection of Natura 2000 and Ramsar sites. website language-Dutch
