A Rocha Switzerland

About us

A Rocha Switzerland contributes to nature conservation through:
- Scientific studies and inventories: monitoring and studies of endangered species and populations.
- Actions to protect and maintain natural areas important for biodiversity
- Education and awareness on biodiversity in urban and semi-urban areas
- Lobbying for better protection conditions for endangered natural areas.
A Rocha Switzerland’s main focus of study is dry grassland, a threatened habitat in the country. A Rocha has made species inventories in many parts of the country to help identify conservation priorities and advise on land management. Each year the team mobilizes volunteers who undertake practical tasks, helping farmers to improve the wildlife diversity of their meadows, and runs eco-adventure camps for children, in partnership with other Christian organizations.
