About us
The international, charitable foundation PanEco was founded in 1996 and is active in the fields of environmental protection, environmental management and environmental education. PanEco completes the personal support of projects which date back until the seventies and eightees, with an instrumental structure. At the moment, the centre of activities lies in Indonesia. With its "Sumatra Orang-Utan Schutzprogramm SOCP" (Sumatra Orang-Utan protection programme) PanEco stands up there for the survival of the last Sumatra-Orang-Utan. At the edge of the Gunung Leuser National Parc it supports the "environmental education centre PPLH Bohorok" with projects for rainforest ecology, environmental management and eco-tourism. In Eastern Java, the "environmental education centre PPLH Seloliman" can be found with the following centres of activity: biological agriculture/farmers´school and spermbank cooperative. Motivated people work voluntarily in Pan-Eco-projects in the framework of the "International Volonteer Programme". In Switzerland, the "environmental education centre NeulandWeinland" can be found in Berg am Irchel with a diverse pedagogical offer in the field of environment and nature.
