EUROPARC is the umbrella organisation of Europe's protected areas

Welcome

Welcome, Bienvenue, Willkommen

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

We represent 500 members in 38 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 collaborate with other to ensure the value and meaning of protected areas is at the heart of Europe.
