Effective Management, Better Parks

The Protected Areas In-Sight aims to inspire its readers with success stories from across the EUROPARC Network. This issue of the Protected Areas In-Sight explores how we can strengthen the management effectiveness of Protected Areas through collaboration, learning and innovation.

New approaches are emerging to bridge gaps and drive meaningful change through more effective and inclusive management.

Michael Hošek

writes EUROPARC’s President, Michael Hošek, in the Magazine’s editorial.

The 2024 edition of our Protected Areas In-Sight explores four key pillars to the E-Forum theme “Protected Area Management Effectiveness”:

  • Planning
  • Governance
  • Capacity Building
  • Communication

It includes 12 articles from Protected Area Professionals across Europe, showcasing the stories and projects with a shared commitment to building resilient and well-managed conservation areas that benefit both nature and people.
