See more in IYNF members and Partners.

IYNF was founded in 1975 as an independent branch of the International Friends of Nature (NFI). Legally it had been based on the NFI Statutes, article 7, which established IYNF (Naturfreundejugend Internationale, NFJI) to care for the international youth work of the Naturefriends organisation. Work of IYNF had been base on the its Guidelines, subject to approval of International Youth Congress and Congress of NFI.

In 2005 IYNF gained its own official legal status with an official seat in Vienna. IYNF has now its own Statutes and IYNF Presidium is the ultimate representative of IYNF as a legal entity. Official name of IYNF is Naturfreundejugend Internationale.

In 2002, after more then ten years when the IYNF office seated in Brussels, Presidium decided to move the office to Prague. IYNF office had been run thanks to hospitality of Duha Czech member organisation until July 2005. In July 2005 IYNF gained an official legal status in the Czech Republic as an international organisation and started working independently on Duha.
