IUCN and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), in conjunction with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water, and the Donau-Auen National Park, are organizing the conference entitled “Little Sydney: Protecting Nature in Europe” taking place in Hainburg/Donau-Auen National Park, Austria from 28-31 May 2015..
“Little Sydney” builds on the outcomes of the recent major global event on protected areas: the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014 (WPC), held in Sydney in November 2014, and which resulted in the Promise of Sydney.
The Little Sydney conference is a milestone international event aimed at finding long-term sustainable solutions for protected areas in Europe.

From September 2013 to November 2014, ALPARC was the lead partner of the European greenAlps project, with the objective of examining the effectiveness of nature protection measures, from the European level to the level of individual communities, in order to encourage a change of governance so that more consideration will be given to nature in the policies of the Alpine countries.
A study of the European policy for the preservation of biological diversity together with the analysis of the principal results of a whole series of European projects has made possible the formulation of political recommendations, as well as recommendations aimed at those in charge of the Espace Alpin programme in order
to improve the impact of future projects in favour of biodiversity.

The third ALPARC General Assembly was held on 23rd January 2015 in St. Jakob in Defereggental, in the Hohe Tauern National Park (Austria). More than 50% of the Network’s members were present. The General Assembly validated the official reports of the president, treasurer and director for 2014 and the 2014-2015 ALPARC programme.
Moreover, the 2014 activities report can be downloaded at this link.
ALPARC’s strategic orientations are as follows:
During the General Assembly the communications activities planned to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ALPARC network were also announced.
During the General Assembly, the General Secretary of the Alpine Convention, Markus Reiterer, highlighted the close relationship between ALPARC and the Alpine Convention. The cooperation between these two structures is set out in the “Cooperation Memorandum”.
ALPARC and the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention work together at a communications level to promote the Convention or within some working groups or platforms dealing with themes that also concern the protected areas.
A new working programme for 2016-2017 will soon be prepared. ALPARC invites all the members of the network to submit their propositions to the members of the ALPARC Bureau as a contribution to a first version of the text.
All over the Alps, people are disturbed by the lack of young people in the mountains, notably in summer. Are the mountains boring? Here, there and everywhere people are beginning to realise that our children and our young people are short of … nature. Has contact with nature become a waste of time?
Omnipresent screens, hectic lifestyles, no more room to simply… go out. Yes, out, in the open air, in woods or beside a stream. Sit in a meadow, listen, smell, observe. And then walk, climb, up the slope and maybe reach the summit?
So, along with many other activities and projects, we have together imagined an original way to take young people of the Alps to experience the mountains, spend a night up there, and rediscover the power of being a group and the values of citizenship and solidarity. A collective operation rich in symbolism: Youth at the Top !
For, from France to Slovenia, the Alpine protected areas are very keen to recreate or strengthen the link between mountain nature and young people from here and elsewhere. Because living in the Alps does not necessarily mean knowing the region and travelling all over it. Because mountaineering means education. Because the young people of our areas are also our discussion partners and tomorrow’s players, and also because it is quite simply vital for every human being to have regular contact with nature.
It is a project led by ALPARC, in partnership with Educ’Alpes for the French Alps, which will mobilise groups of young people at a common annual date, in an active, civic process, with a symbolic and imaginative approach.
Our proposal to you is to organise together, on the same day every year, the same night, meetings in emblematic places (refuges, bivouacs, passes, summits) in the mountains in all the Alpine countries. The objective: to take groups of young people up there to share a unique experience, and, more widely speaking, to reach in this way a number of teaching objectives linked to mountain education. But please note, this is not an “educational” day in the classic meaning of the word, but one having the aim to “let someone experience”, a collective adventure in the mountains… In addition, there will be a citizen action (linked to the park or refuge, for example ) and a shared artistic activity (photographic work, plays of light…). This “simultaneous” artistic work by the groups taking part will then fuel a collective work of restitution on an Alpine scale.
The international working group developing the project has chosen the 3rd Thursday in July as common date, a compromise between the highly varying local situations from one end of the Alpine arc to the other. For the 2015 ‘test’ edition, it will be Thursday 16th July. The objective is to then renew the operation every year on a larger scale. (Fund seeking is ongoing).
We invite you to join this major collective project, which is both simple and ambitious, aimed at young people. The operation is seen as flexible and adaptable: each protected area taking part in it can adapt the size and the local event to its own means and the local context. The 2015 edition will be a first test operation which will be the object of an assessment in order to perpetuate it in the years to come.
If you want to take part in this adventure, fill in the attached entry form, which does not commit you to anything at this stage, but which will allow us to identify potential events throughout the Alps and to include you in the working group for the preparatory phase. The entry form should be sent to ALPARC before 15th March 2015. More details in the project file attached.

In January 2015, the REEMA, a French partner of ALPARC and a member of the working group Mountain Environmental Education in Alpine Protected Areas, changes its name and becomes EDUC'ALPES. This "Network for Alpine Mountain Education" leads since 10 years various thematic working groups at French Alps' level, among other one group gathering all the staff members of French Alpine Protected Areas dealing with educational topics.
Isabelle Roux is the director of EDUC'ALPES and its team consists at the moment of 5 persons.
A new name means also a new logo and a new homepage:www.educalpes.fr
The Hohe Tauern National Park hosted the 20th edition of the Memorial Danilo Re at St. Jakob in Deferenggental (Oss Tyrol –Austria) from 22th to 25th January 2015.
The event is dedicated to Danilo Re a park ranger from the Province of Cuneo (Piemont, Italy) who met his death in the line of duty in 1995.
This year a special tribute has been paid also to the rangers Roselyne Anselmet (National Parc Vanoise) and Valentino Chiale (National Parc Gran Paradiso), both death accidentally during their activities in the summer 2014 .
For many years now, the annual Danilo Re Meet has provided a major opportunity for all those working in Alpine Protected Areas to get acquainted with one another, in particular those in the field, carrying out surveillance, facilitation and fact-finding missions.
The 2015 edition attracted 150 participants who took part in sports competitions and a thematic seminar entitled “Reintroduction and (natural) returns of species, local population and conflicts: the ranger’s role? ”.

The detailed results of the competitions are available at the Danilo Re web page.
The Triglav National Parc (Team 1) came in first place equally leveled by the National Berchtesgaden (Team 2), and in the third place came the Swiss National Park team.
Congratulations to all the participants!
The 21st edition of the Memorial Danilo Re will take place in the Marguareis Natural Parc (IT), January 2016.
The Alps have great potential for the use of renewable energy. But to what extent can different types of renewable energy be utilised if nature is to be protected and the services that our ecosystems provide are to be fully maintained?
The partners of the recharge.green project have developed instruments to answer such questions: they will be presenting their findings at the final conference to be held in Sonthofen, Germany, on 20-21 May 2015.
The international conference is aimed at decision makers, representatives of administrations, energy companies, NGOs and anyone else interested in the topic.
The conference programme will be made available at www.recharge-green.eu early in 2015.
recharge-green is co-financed by the European Fund for Regional Development through the INTERREG IV B Alpine Space Programme.
As officially announced on December 17 2014, the Presidency of the Alpine Convention for the period 2015-2016 is held by Germany and implemented by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, with the slogan “The Alps – a symbol of European diversity”.
The minister Barbara Hendricks is the President of the Alpine Conference.
ALPARC, as partner of the Alpine Convention, will work in close cooperation with the German Presidency as partner of the Alpine Convention on joint projects on different topics, in particular on biodiversity and ecological connectivity in the Alps.
