European Nature Parks
In several European countries, Nature Parks are established as large-scale nature reserves. Due to their central task of combining sustainable protection and use of cultural landscapes, Nature Parks are gaining in importance for the future. The biological diversity of European cultural landscapes can only be permanently secured through a sustainable use. Nature Parks in Europe make an important contribute to save biological diversity in cultural landscapes.
In Europe there are numerous transboundary Nature Parks
Nature Parks are not based on the administrative borders but rather on the natural areas themselves, thus creating trans-boundary, trans-European Nature Parks. These Nature Parks ally the people living in those areas and contribute in this way the coalescence of Europe itself.
Nature Parks in Europe differ in their structure from country to country. On the one hand they have all been established as legally protected areas, the legal definition being dominated by the common financing of the nature parks. On the other hand they show many differences, in the number of nature parks they have established, their legal structures, tasks, as well as in their proportion related to the countries surface.
The publication “Nature Parks – Prospects for Rural Areas in Europe” will show you a detailed overview of the similarities and the differences of Nature Parks and their federations in the European countries.
