PAN Parks Foundation

PAN Parks Foundation works to protect Europe’s wilderness, the continent’s most undisturbed areas of nature.

PAN Parks creates a network of European protected areas which encompass the best of Europe’s wilderness! A PAN Park always offers a wilderness area with undisturbed nature. This is the PAN Parks wilderness area which is of outstanding  beauty, its extraordinary natural values are among our most valuable European treasures and heritage. The well-protected area’s great size gives wildlife a real space to thrive - animals can roam free and plants are safe to thrive in true wilderness.

In a PAN Park, the nature you enjoy has been protected according to the best European practices. The park has high quality tourism facilities, well balanced with wilderness protection and sustainable local development. The park management co-operates closely with the people who live around the park.

Local businesses, certified based on environmental standards and their commitment to conservation, are recognised by the PAN Parks logo, this guarantees that your visit contributes to the protection of nature. These partners are knowledgeable  about the park and help visitors discover it firsthand. They offer exciting activities to enable you to have a unique experience also of European wilderness!

With its integrated approach the PAN Parks Foundation offers benefits for protected areas, local communities, visitors and business partners while preserving the last remaining pieces of undisturbed nature in Europe for future generations.
