The scientific group dedicated to research in the Swiss parks has been commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) to create a thematic catalogue.

The catalogue covers themes pertaining to sustainable regional development, with a particular emphasis on comparative research in parks of national importance. This provides the basis for initiating cooperation between scientists, local, regional and national authorities, and park management bodies. It represents the first step towards developing a research strategy.

The catalogue can be downloaded in French or German at :
