International Academy for Nature Conservation
The International Academy for Nature Conservation (INA) is part of a branch office of the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN). The Academy and the central administration of the branch office Island of Vilm form the staff unit "International Academy for Nature Conservation, Administration of Vilm".
It provides a forum for the discussion and solution of national and international nature conservation issues. It is a place for debate among conservation experts and communication between the German Federal Government and the Länder (states). This makes it a centre for dialogue between representatives of many different fields, including: science and public administration, politicians and industry, associations and foundations.
