What's on

The key aims of the EUROPARC Federation are:

• Promote good practice in the management of protected areas
• Facilitate the establishment of new protected areas
• Raise the profile of protected areas as a vital means of safeguarding many of the continent's most valuable natural heritage assets, and thereby to increase support for their future protection
• Influence the future development of public policies and programmes, especially with the European Union, to the benefit of protected areas' objectives.

The EUROPARC Federation realises its aims through a range of practical activities and initiatives which can be explored on this web-site. In doing so, it draws on the vast knowledge and experience within its membership, which is shared and applied to benefit both individual parks and the European protected area network as a whole.
