50 years of nature superpowers
The Protected Areas In-Sight, aims to inspire its readers with success stories from across the EUROPARC Network. Collating these stories, connecting the people behind them, and showcasing Protected Areas as centres of excellence to the wider public is something that EUROPARC has been doing for 50 years.
What has become apparent having reflected upon the 50 years of EUROPARC’s work, are the latent Superpowers within the Protected Area community
Carol Ritchie
writes EUROPARC’s Executive Director Carol Ritchie in the Magazine’s editorial.
The 2023 edition of our Protected Areas In-Sight explores many of the Superpowers that our network holds. Guided by the Conference theme “Tribute to our Landscape: Where nature and people meet in Harmony”, over 14 articles from guest authors across Europe showcase how Protected Areas are building trusting relationships within their communities, creating change and sharing a vision for a sustainable future.
