Irmgard Badura (2.v.l.), Beauftragte der Bayerischen Staatsregierung für die Belange von Menschen mit Behinderung, überreichte kürzlich das Signet „Bayern barrierefrei – Wir sind dabei“ an den Nationalpark Berchtesgaden.
Auf der Hängebrücke im Klausbachtal nahmen der stellvertretende Nationalparkleiter Ulrich Brendel (2.v.r.), Mitarbeiter Christian Graßl (r.) sowie Ramsaus Bürgermeister Herbert Gschoßmann (l.) die Auszeichnung entgegen. Nach den Plänen der Bayerischen Staatsregierung soll der Freistaat bis zum Jahr 2023 in öffentlichen Bereichen zum großen Teil barrierefrei gestaltet werden. „Auch der Nationalpark widmet diesem Thema große Aufmerksamkeit“, versichert Ulrich Brendel. „Seit 2006 setzen wir unseren engagierten Managementplan für Barrierefreiheit Schritt für Schritt weiter um“.
Auch Christian Graßl, Koordinator für Barrierefreiheit im Nationalpark, freut sich über entsprechende Angebote: „Das Haus der Berge, die Hängebrücke im Klausbachtal, der Aussichtsturm an der Wildfütterung sowie die Bushaltestellen des Alm-Erlebnisbusses beweisen, dass Barrierefreiheit auch in einem Alpen-Nationalpark möglich ist“.

Cet ouvrage d’art est le fruit d'une démarche tout à fait originale menée par Asters, Conservatoire d'espaces naturels de Haute-Savoie (organisation technique de gestion des espaces naturels) en collaboration avec Eric Alibert (peintre aquarelliste, naturaliste) et Jean-Jacques Fresko pour la rédaction des textes.
L’idée de croiser les savoirs et les approches, a amené le peintre à réaliser une série d’œuvres artistiques sur les espaces remarquables de Haute-Savoie... département qui n'en est pas dépourvu !
9 réserves naturelles nationales, plus de 50 sites protégés aux statuts divers, des espaces naturels d’exception comme le Léman, le Mont-Blanc, etc…
Eric Alibert a produit plus de 200 aquarelles, peintures, dessins, au cours de ces nombreux «arpentages » en compagnie de l'équipe technique d'Asters pendant plusieurs semaines à différentes saisons.
De ce travail de création est né le livre « Cœurs de nature en Haute-Savoie – Entre Léman et Mont-Blanc » que nous vous invitons à découvrir dans la présentation en pièce jointe.

Wien, 05.10.2016 (UWD). Die europäischen Naturschutzregelungen Fauna-Flora-Habitat- und Vogelschutzrichtlinie (FFH- und VS-RL) sind Grundlage für die Einrichtung von mittlerweile mehr
als 270 Natura 2000-Gebieten in Österreich. Obwohl die Richtlinien seit 1995 in Österreich in Kraft sind, bestehen immer noch Vorurteile und Ängste, wenn es um die Ausweisung neuer
Gebiete und die Umsetzung von Projekten geht. Einerseits, weil Österreich in der Schutzgebietsausweisung seit Jahren zu den EU-Schlusslichtern zählt und dadurch Verunsicherung
besteht, andererseits, weil diverse Vorurteile – wie etwa wirtschaftliche Benachteiligung durch eine Schutzgebietsausweisung – kursieren. Der Umweltdachverband beauftragte daher im
Rahmen des von EU und Bund geförderten Gemeinschaftsprojekts „gREen.watch“ (Projektpartner BirdLife Österreich und WWF Österreich) die Technische Universität Wien (TU), den Zusammenhang zwischen Natura 2000 und Wirtschaft in einer umfassenden Studie zu erforschen.
The poster collection "Bilder der Innovation - Images de l'innovation 2016" highlights innovations in regional development in protected areas of the Alps. It presents 17 innovative approaches which were identified in the InnovAlps project (2015-2016) in national and regional/nature parks in France, Switzerland and Austria.
A focus lies on innovations in the InnovAlps pilot regions: the regional nature parks Tiroler Lech, Pfyn-Finges and the Baronnies provençales. Obviously, the posters only represent a tiny part of innovations in peripheral areas of the Alps. The collection is thus more of a starting point, providing lots of free space for new posters and opening a new way to communicate innovations in protected areas.
ALPARC has officially recognized the commitment of three Alpine nature park regions to innovation and sustainability in regional development. On the occasion of the InnovAlps final conference in Leuk-Susten (Valais, CH) on 29th and 30th of September, the Regional nature park Pfyn-Finges (CH), the Natural park region Tiroler Lech (AT) and the Regional natural park of the Baronnies provençales (FR) have been distinguished as the first pilot regions for innovative regional development.
25 participants from four Alpine countries attended the final conference in the nature park Pfyn-Finges. It was the last official event of the project. It provided the opportunity to review the lively exchanges that took place during the pilot region workshops and to present the project results.
The poster collection "Bilder der Innovation - Images de l'innovation 2016" has been presented during the final conference. It highlights innovations in regional development in protected areas of the Alps.

Published by: Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB)
This publication highlights the results of the long-term and successful cooperation between different stakeholders for biodiversity conservation in Europe.
The Ministry has provided support for the project based work of ALPARC, the Platform Ecological Network of the Alpine Convention, relevant EU (European Union) projects under the Alpine Space Programme and the development of expert tools and methods for connectivity by means of research projects from the Federal Environment Ministry's departmental research plan.
“Alpine Nature Parks – Models for Change” is a conference for protected area staff, regional managers, and other actors and pioneers of Alpine regions who deal with or are interested in innovation in regional development. From September 28 to 30, the conference will provide the opportunity to exchange on innovative approaches and new ideas for regional development in Alpine rural areas. Which initiatives and projects can reconcile economic, social and ecological objectives, today and in the future, especially in parks?
The event wants to foster the exchange between Alpine regions and their actors, notably with regard to creative soultions. To the participants it should be an inspiration for economic and social change. Furthermore, the goal is to develop common tools for promoting change and innovation in these regions.
Programme & Registration
To ensure as many different exchanges as possible the event will be organised as a mix of plenary sessions and workshops. An important component will be the presentation of the results of the project InnovAlps, which will concentrate on the experiences and best practices of the pilot regions. Additionally, workshops for innovation and ideas will take place, where ideas and possibilities for future cooperation, to foster change and innovation in protected area regions, can be developed.
You find the detailed programme for download below (German, French and English). The conference language is German but translation to French and English is possible.

Two new members
We are glad to welcome 2 new members in our network this year: The Natural Park Ötztal, in Austria and the Friuli Venezia Giulia Autonomous region in Italy
Changes in management
In February 2016, the National Stelvio Park consortium (IT) that managed the park since October 1995, has been dissolved. Since the 1st of March, the park administrative supervision and management has been transferred to the related territories: Autonomous Province of Bolzano and of Trento and Lombardy region. A coordination committee, presided by Ugo Parolo, insures the unity of the park. Wolfgang Platter, director of the former consortium, has retired the 1st of September 2016. Involved for years in the network, he remains ALPARC Council Vice President until the next elections. We already wish him success in his personal projects.
In the French protected areas, several nominations are highlighted
Henriette Martinez, Major of Laragne-Montéglin (Hautes-Alpes), President of the Laragnais Community of Communes, is the new president of the Baronnies Provençales Regional Nature Park, an organisation she has supported since the beginning. This year she was also elected President of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur Regional Nature Parks network and Vice President of the French Federation of Regional Nature Parks.
As for Eva Aliacar, she has assumed the position of Director of the National Nature Park of Vanoise last July. She is the second woman to manage the Park since its creation and replaces Emmanuel Michau.
Regarding the Nature Park of the Massif des Bauges, it is Jean-Luc Desbois, former deputy director who is now at its head.
3 French Alpine National Parks strenghten their cooperation
The presidents and directors of the 3 National Parks of the French Alps (Mercantour, Vanoise, Écrins) are involved to make a joint effort to settle technical cooperation and to look for financings. European financing search for joint actions is one of the most important point of this cooperation. Actions have already been pooled: as regards scientific research, "Lacs sentinelles" and "Alpages sentinelles" programmes that are great examples.
