The Tyrolean Environmental Ombudsman lends a voice in official proceedings to those who cannot speak for themselves: the flora and fauna, and habitats that are rare or worthy of protection. This is done in order to ensure the prudent use of our natural resources and landscape. In addition to involvement in official proceedings, the Tyrolean Environmental Ombudsman uses a variety of platforms to draw attention to the Tyrol’s natural assets and the need for their careful management, including nature projects, courses and forward-looking guidelines – all in accordance with the motto “For our natural environment and quality of life”.
