COVID-19 & European Protected Areas: Invitation for management authorities

Submitted by N. Jones on Fri, 29/05/2020 - 22:20

We are launching today a call for management authorities of European National Parks and other protected areas to collaborate with our research team in FIDELIO in order to:
- Explore the importance of protected areas for local communities before, during and after the pandemic
- Identify effective policy tools that can promote behavioural change in users when visiting protected areas during COVID
- Contribute in a network of communication (via workshops co-hosted with Europarc) between European protected areas to exchange information and experiences regarding COVID-19 management issues
