We Continue to Support Projects Connecting Nature and People

As Salih Tatlici Foundation, we have donated to the “EuroNatur Foundation“, which strives to protect Europe’s wildlife, preserve habitats, provide a nature-friendly economic perspective for local people, and protect plants, animals, and habitats.

We Support Nature Conservation Efforts

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Ecological and climate crisis threaten the health of the planet, human livelihoods, and biodiversity. Climate action must work with nature by phasing out fossil fuels and nuclear energy while prioritizing renewable energies that can minimize their impact on nature and take into account nature’s ecological capacities. In addition to our support for national organizations striving to protect nature and the environment, we will continue to support international organizations such as the EuroNatur Foundation.”

EuroNatur Foundation

EuroNatur Foundation is a non-profit foundation founded in 1987 by Friends of the Earth Germany (Bund für Umwelt- und Naturschutz Deutschland, BUND), Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (Naturschutzbund Deutschland, NABU) and Environmental Action Germany (Deutsche Umwelthilfe, DUH). The founders of EuroNatur realized that it would no longer be enough to advance positive developments in Germany alone. Thus they led to the concept of a Europe-wide movement for a borderless nature. From the very beginning, EuroNatur has been very active in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.

Shortly after the foundation was founded, dramatic upheavals took place in the region and the fall of the Iron Curtain created opportunities for cross-border nature conservation. Through the “European Green Belt” initiative, they managed to build a strong network to protect the natural treasures along the Green Belt. EuroNatur presents new opportunities for nature conservation, improving understanding and sharing experiences across national borders. Working together with partner organizations in EuroNatur’s project areas and with the support of EuroNatur donors and sponsors, much remains to be done, much has been achieved for the conservation of Europe’s natural riches and they continue to fight to protect Europe’s natural heritage.

The donations and aid projects mentioned here were made by the founders of our Foundation, Nurten Tatlıcı and her son Uğur Tatlıcı, in memory of the late Salih Tatlıcı, the benevolent person whose name continues to live on through our Foundation and whom they bid farewell in journey to eternity in 2009.
