Notes de l'éditeur
Taking picture of people raising hands There are three elements of my presentation: what is PAN Parks? What is our concept of combining wilderness and tourism? Introduction into our tourism model and explaining experiences Before starting ask personal introduction or at least which countries the participants are coming from Expectations maybe from 2-3 people
We need more partners to not see this tombstone in reality
I hope that after the film I don’t have to convince you that wilderness does exist in Europe
There are many other organisations working on wilderness, but they are mainly concentrating to one single country.
In order to mobilise or use sustainable tourism as a tool we need to work with large areas where tourism cannot cause damage
There are not too many areas, but we are going to get 2 more in this year (Kure Mountains and Dzukija) and there are more potential PAN Parks There are a few countries where having PAN Parks wilderness is not possible, but there is wilderness The Million Target

Local tourism partners are not that much different in more and less developed countries. They struggle very similar problems and need very similar trainings.
