NABU Landesverband Berlin e.V.

What NABU Landesverband Berlin e.V. does

NABU Landesverband Berlin e.V. (doing business as NABU Berlin) is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) and the Berlin state chapter of NABU (Naturschutzbund Deutschland), Germany's largest nature conservation association with over 900,000 members nationally. The organization is headquartered at Wollankstraße 4, 13187 Berlin and operates with a paid staff of 18 employees, supplemented by an extensive volunteer network organized through Bezirksgruppen (district groups), Fachgruppen (specialist groups), Kinder- und Jugendgruppen (children's and youth groups), and the NAJU Berlin youth organization. Its mission focuses on urban biodiversity, species protection, wildlife rescue, and environmental education within the city of Berlin.

The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of conservation services. Core operational services include the Wildtierberatung (wildlife consultation hotline), Wildvogelstation (wild bird rescue and rehabilitation station), Storchenschmiede Linum (stork breeding facility with public live camera), Hymenopterendienst (wild bee, bumblebee, and hornet identification and advisory service), and Artenschutz am Gebäude (species protection consulting for building-related wildlife such as swifts, swallows, and bats). These are complemented by thematic initiatives in Baumschutz (tree protection), Artenschutz & Biodiversität, Wassernetz Berlin (water network), Umweltbildung (environmental education), and public campaigns including Natürlich Strauch! and Faszination Falter. The organization has no proprietary technology product; its digital footprint consists of a content website, email newsletter, social media channels, the NABU-Netz community platform, and the NABU Shop e-commerce storefront.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership fees from individual supporters, donations (including one-time, recurring, occasion-based, and testamentary giving), and NABU Shop merchandise sales. Distribution is primarily community-led through direct membership enrollment, online donations, district-level volunteer groups, and e-commerce. Customer segments span Berlin residents, schools and kindergartens (including the Klima-Kita-Netzwerk), and property owners or building managers seeking species-protection advisory services. Marketing relies on the website, individualized newsletter, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest), public events such as the Berliner Naturschutztag, citizen-science campaigns including Stunde der Gartenvögel and Insektensommer, and the printed magazine "Natur in Berlin."
