Nature and Youth

In addition to local groups, there is a central board with 14 members that works on national issues and an administration; both are located in Oslo.In 1967, the Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature (NNV) had announced that they wanted a youth organization, and the two organisations, Norsk Feltbiologisk Ungdomsforening (NFU) and Oslo Katedralskoles Naturvernforening, decided to merge on November 18, 1967.In 1984 members from NU and Greenpeace chained themselves to the factory Titania in Sokndal in a civil disobedience action to prohibit the dumping of 2.2 million tonnes oil and rockdust mixed with chemicals in Dyngadjupet in Jøssingfjord.In 1991, NU was the prime contributor to the Rotvoll controversy, a fight to preserve a rich cultural area on the fringe of the city of Trondheim.During the late 1990s, the main focus was on trying to prevent the building of natural gas power plants in Norway and in the 2000s (decade), stopping the opening of the Barents Sea for petroleum production.
