NATURAL HISTORY LINKS

The Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature was founded in 1951. The activities of the Society are directed towards any action, project or programme that aims at the protection of the natural environment.

 The Hellenic Zoological Society is a non-profit organization established in 1980 in Athens. The aims of the Society are the study of the geographic distribution (zoogeography), the ecology and the systematics of the animals that live in Greece, the conservation of the fauna of Greece and the study of relevant problems.  

    The Hellenic Ornithological Society, founded in 1982, is the only Greek non-governmental 

   body exclusively concerned with the protection of wild birds and their habitats in Greece. 

The Hellenic Entomological Society (which publishes the journal Entomologia Hellenica) has recently created a website, which at present appears to be entirely in Greek. Correspondence should be addressed to: Hellenic Entomological Society, P.O. Box 51214, GR - 14 5 10 Kifissia, Attiki, Greece.

    The Society for Protection of Nature and Ecodevelopment (EPO) was founded in 1988. It maintains the Nestos Natural History Museum and Information Centre at Chryssoupolis, 17kms north of Keramoti. EPO is involved with the establishment of sustainable development in the Delta and runs a programme of environmental education and awareness for the local community, as well as coordinating survey and monitoring of bird populations and other wildlife. Volunteer work camps for the conservation of the area are organised throughout the summer. The Society does not have a website but can be contacted at P.O. Box 124, Gr-64200 Hrysoupolis, Greece.
