Watch out for human rights when travelling – the role of tour guides

Leading, communicating, mediating – tour guides are the interface between travellers and locals, between two often very different cultures. Thus tour guides bear a great responsibility with regard to the handling of human rights – a new booklet of Naturefriends International supports them in this.

NFI christmas special: Donate a brick to the village of Finkolo (Mali)!

The south of Mali is heavily affected by climate change. The increase in periods of drought leads to massive losses in agricultural production; sometimes the harvest is completely lost. The storage of agricultural products is therefore becoming increasingly important. Also the women's cooperative in the village community of Finkolo, which has been successfully cultivating vegetables for several years with the support of Naturefriends, urgently needs a storage building for its products. With a contribution of 15 euros you support the construction of the storage building and create a future perspective for the people of Finkolo.
Donations for a brick for Finkolo are also meaningful christmas presents for your friends or family – upon request, we we send a gift certificate via mail.

Green 10 reject the „One in, one out“ principle planned by European Commission President-Elect Ursula von der Leyen!

The Green 10 – a network of the ten largest European environmental NGOs, amongst them NFI – is firmly against the introduction of a “One in, one out” principle for new legislation, as planned by European Commission President-Elect Ursula von der Leyen. The principle is inherently incompatible with the climate and environmental ambition set out by her and risks undermining the potential benefits of new initiatives under the European Green Deal.
