Founded in 1899, NABU is Germany’s oldest nature conservation association. With around 960,000 members and supporters, it now brings together a broad membership base as well as a nationwide network of local and regional groups. Its work spans biodiversity and habitat conservation, climate and land-use related policy engagement, environmental education, and long-term conservation cooperations beyond Germany.

In this context, the Kuratorium serves as a scientific advisory body that supports NABU’s strategic orientation by providing interdisciplinary perspectives on key challenges in conservation and environmental governance. It is composed of leading figures who, through their professional activity, experience, or academic qualifications, can advance NABU’s objectives in a particular way. Members of the Kuratorium are appointed for a term of four years.

Christina Pinsdorf is delighted about the recognition of her research in the area and feels honored by this appointment. With a background in philosophy of nature and environmental ethics, she is motivated to contribute to NABU’s work by strengthening conceptual and normative reflection within contemporary conservation debates. She is particularly interested in fostering discourse on human-nature relationships, conceptions of nature and their significance for the ecological crisis in the Anthropocene, the connections between morality and lifeforms, wilderness development, and the role of AI in sustainability-oriented research and practice.

Alongside renowned biologist Christine von Weizsäcker, Christina Pinsdorf is currently the second woman to be appointed to the NABU Kuratorium.
