Office

ANUVA was founded in 1992 as a start up by seven biology graduates at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. The initial thematic focus was applied nature studies and genetic relationship analyses, which in German is written as “angewandte Naturstudien und genetische Verwandtschaftsanalysen” (ANUVA). This explains our name; an acronym formed by the terms of our early research goals. Soon, our focus grew broader, but the name remained. Translated from Hindi, ANUVA means "knowledge", a fitting correlation.

Since the very beginning the biologists Gaby Töpfer-Hofmann and Klaus Albrecht have been part of the management. In 1994, the office's internal range of services was expanded with the addition of a landscape architect. Fortunately, with the diversification of our tasks, the variety of study courses in nature and landscape conservation grew as well. In the meantime, landscape planners, landscape ecologists, geographers, geoinformaticians, biogeographers, and experts in other fields have enriched our diversified team. Since 2017, Dr. Andrea Schleicher, a member of the younger generation, has joined the management team.

Our many years of experience in planning increasingly require us to deal with scientific issues, so that our office also increasingly deals with topics of applied research. The contents range from bat ecology to the application possibilities of geographic information systems to questions of biodiversity and species protection. The search for new knowledge inspires, and planning benefits from it.
