Dear Member,
with this email we would like to remind you of some important happenings in the upcoming months:
|
| | The new EUROPARC Strategy until 2030 Provide your feedback
After
an extensive consultation phase that started in 2020, the draft version
of EUROPARC's Strategy to 2030 is now available for review on our
website here . We
put extra effort into capturing the needs and inputs of our members,
now we would love to hear your feedback! Members can provide comments
through the small survey on our website.
We very much look forward to your
input as we enter this next exciting phase of EUROPARC.
Deadline: 22nd of July. |
| | EUROPARC Elections for Council and President Nominate your candidates now
Every three years the EUROPARC
Federation Council, including the President, need to be elected. Normally,
elections would have taken place during last year's General Assembly at the
EUROPARC Conference in Austria. However, due to the corona crisis an emergency regulation was put in place in Germany, allowing us to
postpone the elections to this year. Additionally, we
are now permitted to have online electronic voting for the Council and President
election. Voting will happen during our online General Assembly on Tuesday 5th October starting at
09:00 am.
Nominations are now open for enthusiastic, interested men and women, from any member of the EUROPARC Federation across Europe.

Alfred Toepfer Medal 2021
Nominations are now open Annually, EUROPARC honors those who have made a significant
contribution to nature conservation in Europe through an experienced
body of work and life experience with the Alfred Toepfer Medal, named after the founder of the EUROPARC Federation, Dr h.c. Alfred Toepfer. The winner is nominated by EUROPARC members and is selected by the jury, comprised of EUROPARC Council members. Do
you have someone in mind who you think deserves recognition for their
dedication or achievements in the field of nature conservation and Protected Areas? Please consider nominating that person for the award.
|
| | | EUROPARC Conference 2021
Join us online! To conclude, please remember to save the dates for the online EUROPARC Conference on the 6th and 7th of October. This year's theme: Parks in the Spotlight Powered by People; Inspired by Nature. In many global and European policy frameworks Parks and Protected
Areas have finally been identified as having a significant role. This is our chance to “shine” and highlight how things are achieved “on
the ground” and to indicate what more is needed to enable Parks and
Protected Areas to fulfill their potential and meet the challenges being
presented.
Our conference will look at the practical management that turns political and societal topics,
such as climate change, biodiversity restoration, health, tourism and
economy (especially post covid), capacity building, technology, role of
youth and agriculture into reality.
We invite you to SAVE THE DATES and we will announce more programme details and be open for registration in the coming months. |
