ACDB was officially founded in 2003, 2nd July, but the founding members have been managing biodiversity conservation projects since 1999.

In the last 13 years, ACDB undertook 9 projects on the management of protected areas, 7 projects dedicated to conservation of large carnivore species and 2 initiatives for the development of communities in the protected areas.

In 2004, ACDB established the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center with the goal to save and rehabilitate wildlife. Since 2010, ACDB has also been the custodian of the Lower Siret Floodplain natural area.
