Hinweis der Redaktion
- Taking picture of people raising hands There are three elements of my presentation: what is PAN Parks? What is our concept of combining wilderness and tourism? Introduction into our tourism model and explaining experiences Before starting ask personal introduction or at least which countries the participants are coming from Expectations maybe from 2-3 people
- We need more partners to not see this tombstone in reality
- Compared to other PAs
- There are not too many areas, but we are going to get 2 more in this year (Kure Mountains and Dzukija) and there are more potential PAN Parks There are a few countries where having PAN Parks wilderness is not possible, but there is wilderness The Million Target
- But do we actually deliver on this if we keep focusing only on verification?
- Some wilderness values that can be experienced in PAN Parks
- Ways to explore PAN Parks
- Other special exciting activities in PAN Parks
- Local tourism partners are not that much different in more and less developed countries. They struggle very similar problems and need very similar trainings.

- Fabulous mountains also host wild areas ...
- Wilderness does exist on our continent ... In amazing old growth forests both in northern countries...
- and in Mediterrnean areas
- With incredible underwater wilderness and flora on islands
- W ilderness is there in the world of meandering rivers...
- When we say undisturbed what do we mean?
- Communications is an essential part of our work to raise professional and public support for wilderness protection. Creating positive protection of wilderness could be the basis of successful protection In order to do this we use the parks of the network as examples of the best of Europe’s wilderness ‘ You can go there and experience wilderness yourself, earn about it in the field’
