Baltic Environmental Forum (BEF) Estonia is a non-governmental organization working in the areas of environmental protection and nature conservation since 1995. Our main aim is to preserve sustainable environment through raising awareness and promoting environmental management to increase knowledge and improve skills of different stakeholders.

Among the people working in the field of environmental protection, BEF is known in Estonia and in other Baltic states for organising different events and we have twelve years of experience doing it. BEF has high standards and the professionalism shows from the content side as well as from the technical side of events. We have experienced experts in our team and also over the years we have made a lot of connections with different representatives of the society.

In the frame of projects we have compiled handbooks and informative brochures.<\/p>\n
