Landesbund für Vogel- und Naturschutz in Bayern

The Landesbund für Vogel- und Naturschutz in Bayern e.V. (LBV) is described on its official website as Bavaria's oldest nature conservation association, with nature conservation work dating to 1909. It states that it runs diverse nature and species protection projects, continually acquires significant biotope areas, and carries out educational work throughout Bavaria. Its history page records that in 1909 the 'Staatlich autorisierte Vogelschutzkommission für Bayern' was founded in Bamberg with its seat in Garmisch, that the 'Landesbund für Vogelschutz in Bayern' emerged from this in 1938, and that the association's headquarters moved from Garmisch to Hilpoltstein in 1980.

According to the LBV's official history page, in 1909 the 'Staatlich autorisierte Vogelschutzkommission für Bayern' was founded in Bamberg on the initiative of the Royal Bavarian Interior Minister, with its seat in Garmisch. After some detours, the 'Landesbund für Vogelschutz in Bayern' emerged from this in 1938. In its early years the LBV was a pure bird protection association, but from 1968 its themes and work areas broadened. Since 1945 the LBV has worked very closely with NABU, and since 1999 this institutionalized strategic cooperation has existed. Since the 1970s membership numbers have increased strongly, enabling the LBV to take on more tasks, including the purchase or lease of areas. In 1980 the association's headquarters moved from Garmisch to Hilpoltstein. The official website states that the LBV is Bavaria's oldest nature conservation association, with nature conservation since 1909, and that it runs diverse nature and species protection projects, continually acquires significant biotope areas, and carries out valuable educational work throughout Bavaria.

Bavaria's oldest nature conservation association, focused on species and habitat protection, biodiversity, and environmental education.
