EUROPARC and Slow Food are working together to promote closer cooperation for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity among Protected Areas and local producers, and as part of our joint cooperation, we are pleased to publish the leaflet “Agriculture and Biodiversity in Protected Areas”.

The document includes some first good practice examples from within our respective networks and invites members to share their experiences towards the creation of a European network of Protected Areas actively committed to protecting high quality agriculture.

It was a real pleasure last year to have you at our annual EUROPARC Conference in the Killarney National Park, Ireland. For those who didn‘t participate in the event or those who would like to relive this special moment, here is a summary of all the speeches, workshops, pictures and much more…

Ready for TransParcNet 2015? Save your spot now.

Experts in cross-border cooperation in Protected Areas get together each year at the EUROPARC TransParcNet meeting. They share good practices in transboundary cooperation, discover cross-border partnerships in other parks and look into common project ideas.

The full programme is now available and registration open for EUROPARC’s 7th TransParcNet meeting. It will take place from 9th to 12th June across the Czech-German border in Šumava and Bavarian Forest National Parks.

This year’s meeting will look at “The value of healthy ecosystems for nature and people” from a transboundary perspective. We will study practical examples of raised bog restoration as well as the natural dynamic of ecosystems and their effects on biodiversity. We will enjoy views on the area from mountain tops and tree top walks, learning about the value of visitor management in order for everybody to benefit from the natural landscape.

The TransParcNet meeting 2015 will be held in English.

Download your invitation and copy of the programme and register before 30th April. Places are limited, we recommend to register as soon as possible for this event. More information on how to do this can be found in the invitation.

We look forward to welcoming experts in transboundary cooperation in Protected Areas from across Europe and beyond.
