Register now for the Final Conference

The Carpathians belong to the most important European eco-regions. Biodiversity loss and increasing pressures threaten its outstanding natural values. Traditional approaches to resource management and nature conservation are no longer sufficient to guarantee long-lasting economic benefits and provision of ecosystem services. Such problems cannot be solved by one country alone and require transnational cooperation.

To tackle these challenges and to improve management capacities in protected areas, the project “Centralparks” was developed.

After three successful years, the project now comes to an end and will present its conclusive outcomes to the wider public. Therefore we are pleased to invite you to join the Centralparks final conference with the title “Transnational cooperation for the sustainable future of the Carpathian region” and discuss together the sustainable future of the Carpathian region.

Please find the agenda and all necessary information below. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to write us an email ( isidoro.debortoli@eurac.edu and hanna.ollos@wilderness-society.org ).
