Welcome, Bienvenue, Willkommen!

Thanks for dropping by to our website, we hope you find something of interest and useful here.

EUROPARC represents 500 protected areas, governmental departments, NGO's and businesses in 39 countries, who themselves manage the green jewels of Europe's land, sea, mountains, forests, rivers and cultural heritage. Nature knows no boundaries and we therefore facilitate international co-operation in all aspects of protected area management to further and improve and conserve our shared natural inheritance. We endeavour to exchange expertise, experience and best practise as well as to collaborate with others to ensure the value and meaning of protected areas is at the heart of Europe.

Find out more about who we are, what we do, how we work together and whats happening on the protected area network by clicking through our site using the headings at the top of the page.
