Voluntary agreements - a pool of experience in Natura 2000 site management

Most of EUROPARC's 370 member organisations and parks in 38 European countries are already working with local stakeholders in both management planning and other fields vital for the effective development of protected areas. Those EUROPARC members who can provide a good practice example or case study on Natura 2000 are kindly requested to send details to the EUROPARC Headquarters in Grafenau so that it can be promoted within the project.

A number of examples of good practice relating to Natura 2000 site management have already been submitted for promotion on the Eurosite website. You are welcome to increase the range of participating countries and promote your commitment by submitting a so-called 'voluntary agreement'. The collection of voluntary agreements serves as a reference point for those interested in further developing or getting involved in Natura 2000 site management. Please contact for more detailed information.

 

Green Days - raise public and stakeholder awareness by organising and promoting events on Natura 2000

The international initiative 'Green Days' was launched by the European Commission to draw attention to the aims of Natura 2000, the network designed to protect threatened habitats and species throughout Europe. 'Green Days' are events on Natura 2000 that may take place throughout the year as part of the 'Natura Network Initiative' (NNi). 

If you plan to organise an event on Natura 2000, either for the general public or for professionals in nature conservation, please register it for publication on the pan-European Green Days dynamic calendar:

NNi project partners
 

The EUROPARC Federation, Eurosite and the European Landowners' Organisation manage this project in partnership on behalf of the European Commission. This joint pan-European awareness raising project for Natura 2000 started in 2004 with the aim of encouraging the members of these three European organisations to deepen their commitment to working with Natura 2000. The NNi is an excellent project and complements the efforts to promote and work on Natura 2000 that EUROPARC began at its annual conference in 2004.

EUROPARC members are asked to support the initiative and thereby make their own contribution to the development of a sustainable network of valuable sites throughout Europe.
