Über uns
DOPPS BirdLife Slovenia is a national, non-profit, non-governmental organisation (NGO) that was established in 1979. Since then, DOPPS has brought together over 1,000 members from all parts of Slovenia to help preserving and enhancing Slovenia´s diverse bird populations and nature. We employ 22 people and manage 3 nature reserves. DOPPS holds a special status of acting in public interest in the field of nature conservation and environmental protection.
The mission of DOPPS is to protect birds and their habitats through conservation work, research, education, popularisation and co-operation with other non-governmental and governmental organisations. While working for birds’ protection we enhance ecosystem services and entire society benefits.
DOPPS is a partner of BirdLife International in Slovenia. Through the partnership a lot of knowledge, know-how and conservation tools are gained as well as strong international support is provided.
