The organization was led by environmentalist Kurt Oddekalv up until his death in 2021, who founded the organization due to a dispute with Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature from which he later was excluded. The organization operates mainly on local level. It also engages in some general environmental-related work on the national and international level. The topics that NMF work on are environmental issues, youth issues, and protection of buildings and indigenous peoples.[1][2] [3]
Green Warriors of Norway has received substantial funding from Bergen based philanthropist, Trond Mohn. [4][5] The organization is involved in a number of commercial enterprises, including publishing and real estate. It also operates the conference catamaran MS Miljødronningen.[6]
