Alparc

ALPARC, the Alpine Network of Protected Areas, was founded in 1995 in to help implement the Alpine Convention. The organisations main goal is to promote the exchange of expertise, techniques and methods among the managers of all the large protected areas in the Alps. ALPARC carries out its actions under three main topics: Biodiversity and Ecological Connectivity, Regional Development and Quality of Life, and Education for Sustainable Development in the Alps. These three topics allow for ALPARC to take a regional approach to global issues such as climate change, nature conservation and sustainable development. Moreover, ALPARC aims to raise awareness among the general public and in particular, Alpine youth on environmental challenges.
