Protected Areas In-Sight 2017

The Journal of the EUROPARC Federation is out!

In this Protected Areas In-Sight 2017, we bring you a sweet memory of EUROPARC Conference 2017 in the Portuguese “Magic Mountains”. There, with an interesting panel of keynote speakers, we explored some of the new values needed for nature and people, looked at the new visions emerging worldwide, and identified the new voices for preserving Europe’s natural heritage.

The journal is available in English, German and French. If you would like to receive a printed copy, please write us to b.pais @ europarc.org.
