Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND) is a German non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to preserving nature and protecting the environment. The German transliteration would literally amount to ''Union for the environment and nature conservation Germany''. The subtitle ''Friends of the Earth Germany'' indicates that the BUND is a member organisation of the international network Friends of the Earth (FoE). == General facts == With about 480,000 active members and supporters the BUND is one of the biggest environmental organizations in Germany. It is also formally accredited by the Federal Republic of Germany and therefore has to be officially included if an encroachment into nature is being planned. In 2008, the organization gathered 14.32 Million Euro from member fees, donations, and benefits. The federal organization has its office located in Berlin and is represented by its president Hubert Weiger. There are 2,200 local groups and, like Germany itself, the BUND is divided into 16 state organisations. There are up to 20 working parties specialised such as in law, water, waste, health, forest, energy, and gene technology; everyone can participate. The working parties often include renowned scientist and participate in official parliament hearings, comment on new laws and develop ecologic concepts. Moreover, the expert knowledge is widely spread through workshops and brochures. All members of the BUND under the age of 27 are automatically members of the youth organisation BUNDjugend. The BUND logo symbolises the earth as a green ball held by two protecting hands. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
