We would
really appreciate your inputs and you have until the strategy deadline on 22nd
JULY! There is a
small questionnaire which we encourage members to complete, obviously you need
to do this alongside the strategy document itself. You can access the survey here. But of
course you are free to make any other inputs and comment you wish to. I do want
to explain to you that this has been created as a strategic document. It
sets out context, framework, and high-level goals for EUROPARC up to
2030. It does not include a detailed description of tasks and
targets, indicators etc… that’s not a strategy - that’s a plan! Further, we also felt, given we have almost doubled the
duration for this strategy, that too would not be feasible to produce.
There will
be however, within the period of the strategy, 3 - year programmes with
greater level of detail and an annual workplan, (you already get this, as
I provide a draft workplan and budget every year at the General
Assembly). We have
asked EUROPARC section if it were possible to hold a meeting during this
consultation period to discuss the strategy and gather your
views. Please get in touch with your section if you feel this would
be a helpful. We hope
that we have captured the essence of what you, the members, requested in the
consultation and presented in the most elegant way possible. A summary of the
consultation is available here (online survey results) and here (section workshop results). I very much
look forward to your input as we enter this next exciting phase of EUROPARC.
