Mission & Goals
Established in 1994 and founded for public benefit, CEEweb for Biodiversity is a voluntarily established, self-governed professional organisation, with activities covering the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. CEEweb is also independent, non-profit and non-political. CEEweb's mission is to work for the conservation of biodiversity through the promotion of sustainable development. We do so through advocacy, networking with and influencing decision makers, implementing national and transnational projects, and by carrying out capacity building and raising awareness activities. Throughout this time, we have worked in over 20 countries identifying and changing the drivers behind biodiversity loss; forming common policies and actions for the enhancement of biodiversity in Central and Eastern Europe; and promoting the enforcement of international conventions for nature and biodiversity conservation.
