Kaj Kjær Flora & Fauna have established formal and informal collaborations with larger as well as smaller institutions, actors and organisations. Amongst these are: The Danish Nature Agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, University of Copenhagen, Aalborg University, the Municipality of Jammerbugt and The People’s Meeting for Nature (Naturmødet).
Kaj Kjær Flora & Fauna participates in the national network for Danish Nature Funds. We collaborate with other funds, working within nature and environment, as well as with local tourism and business actors, local schools and associations.
The Fund collaborates and is in ongoing dialogue with landowners regarding land acquisition and distribution, to ensure that the creation of cohesive natural areas favours all parties.
International scientists are offered short- and long-term stays at KKFF's properties. Scientists are selected based on academic fields and their capability to monitor the areas belonging to KKFF. In August 2019 the foundation’s first grant researchers have been established and received a delegation of 5 PhD researchers from three Chinese Universities; University of Nanjing, University of Xiamen and University of Fuzhou.
We are always looking for new collaborations to promote our mission!
