The Bern Convention is the only Treaty for nature conservation in Europe. It was established by the Council of Europe in 1979 and has been signed by the European Union and 50 countries that are committed to protect wildlife, both species and their habitats.

For the last 40 years, the Bern Convention has become an essential tool for the conservation of our natural heritage, and hence, for the safeguarding of our most basic human rights. This effort will prevail to ensure a sustainable future for the planet and for generations to come.
