Michael Otto Foundation

The Michael Otto Foundation for Environmental Protection was established in 1993 by Dr. Michael Otto in order to protect and conserve the vital natural resource of water. Today, the Foundation is strategically engaged in supporting future-orientated nature conservation and sustainable development in Germany and Eastern Europe. To this end, the Foundation has the following two programmatic focus areas: nature-conservation projects with a focus on water habitats; and education for policy advancement (through holding a series of dialogues it helps develop strategic solutions for current environmental-policy issues).
