Green Warriors of Norway (Norwegian: Norges Miljøvernforbund, NMF) is a Norwegian environmental NGO based in Bergen, with offices in Oslo and Tromsø. Their leader is Kurt Oddekalv who founded the organisation due to a dispute with Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature from which he later was excluded.[1] The organisation operates mainly on local level. It also does some work on the national and international level. The topics that NMF work on are environmental issues, youth, protection of buildings and indigenous peoples.[2]

The organisation is also involved in a number of commercial enterprises, including publishing, real estate and operates the conference catamaran M/S Miljødronningen II.
