FINC is a relatively new nature conservancy foundation based in Greifswald. It carries out measures for nature conservancy and sustainable land use. The foundation’s main focus of activities is the preservation of original natural areas as well as a sustainable use of cultivated land. This institution was founded in 2015 by Sebastian Schmidt who was previously the managing director of the Michael Succow Foundation. FINC has a particular focus on countries in transition in particular in those where the political and social conditions are rapidly changing; where these changes offer the opportunity and the mission to protect the biodiversity at the same time. ‘Change through rapprochement’ can be achieved through international nature conservancy cooperation and generate islands of peace. FINC develops and supports projects in this spirit which contain traditional man to nature relationships and have retained the natural value of unspoilt areas and through this strengthen the local identity and civil society. We are always open to new ideas and input. Although the I.R. Iran is the main focus of FINC’s activities there are no limits to where projects can take place. According to FINC successful conservancy depends mainly on persuasive personalities and it is not just on the geographical, legal or political factors that play a role. There is currently a project in the I.R. Iran aimed at developing participatory nature conservancy areas. In India there is a close cooperation with Sahyawicklung where forest areas in West India are to be protected.
