Dear Partners and friends of ALPARC,

Next year ALPARC will commemorate its 20th years. In the beginning of 2015, the ALPARC General Assembly and the Memorial Danilo Re, organised in the Hohe Tauern National Park will be the first occasion of this anniversary year to meet between protected areas managers. I would like to ask you already today to reserve the dates:

Memorial Danilo Re: 22 – 25/01/2015 - General Assembly ALPARC: 23/01/2015

New communication tools for the next years are going to be developed and the very first will be a new homepage which will be operational from the 1st of June 2014.

Public communication and events for the staff of protected areas will be organised all the long of the year 2015 aiming as well to strengthen the cooperation of protected areas with the Alpine Convention.

We will inform you about all these activities which will be prepared during the next months together with the partners of ALPARC. I wish you a very successful summer season for your protected areas and hope to see you soon in the one or the other of the upcoming events of ALPARC.

Best regards,

Martin Šolar

Secretary General
