Event Details

The European Wilderness Society recently introduced a new initiative, called Respect Nature. Number of informational materials on Respect Nature principles and guidelines were developed in various European languages.

The Respect Nature guidelines aim at raising awareness on how to enjoy the outdoors and Wilderness and at the same time minimise our impact on it. Humans can have a strong impact on the nature around them when enjoying the outdoors. Disturbing animals, destroying vegetation, littering and trampling the soils are among the common traces we leave behind. By understanding the impact of our actions and following the nine principles of Respect Nature, we can ensure that our nature experience is centred around respect.

Event Details

During our session we will present you the basic principles of nature interpretation. Interpretive guides engage their audience in an interactive analysis and provoke emotions rather than the outdated method of dry, one-sided presentation of factual information. “Through interpretation – understanding, through understanding – involvement, through involvement – protection” is the main objective of nature interpretation.

Please register RSVP for this course.

As part of the five-session online training course “Ranger Training on Tourism and Waste Management” Ukrainian Protected Area staff, NGOs, interest groups and other stakeholders from Ukraine attending a minimum four out of five sessions will receive a certificate issued by the Ukrainian State Environmental Academy of post-graduates and management and the European Wilderness Society.

2020tue16jun15:0016:00Virtual EventThe History of WildernessA historic overview15:00 - 16:00 CET Event Organized By: European Wilderness Society Event:Webinars

Event Details

Wilderness protection is about protecting large, undisturbed natural areas that are free from human extraction, intervention and human-made artefacts, such as buildings, roads and other constructions. Wilderness is a place where open ended undefined natural dynamic processes govern, where natural forces predominate. However, in the history of the Western world, humans’ relationship with nature has been largely based on the belief that nature is the property of humankind and therefore the purpose of the natural world is to benefit humans.

Thus, one may ask, what was the starting point of Wilderness protection? The US has a long history of preserving Wilderness. The adoption of the Wilderness Resolution by the European Parliament celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019. At the same time, the US Wilderness Act was passed in 1964, 56 years ago, during which 54 areas (9.1 million acres / 3.7 million ha) in 13 states were designated as Wilderness. It is therefore important for all of us who want to contribute to the future of Wilderness protection, to understand the past. This webinar looks at the history of Wilderness starting in the Middle Ages to the beginning of industrial logging all the way up to the present.

Tune in to learn:

– What is the evolution of Wilderness?
– How does the US and European Wilderness movement align with each other?
– Who were the key Wilderness thinkers, leaders and advocates?
– What are some common misconceptions about the definition of Wilderness?

Event Details

Many protected areas, including Ukrainian ones, are suffering from a growing visitor pressure.
Inappropriate visitor behaviour and an enormous increase in plastic waste is bringing previously unknown challenges to daily life. Incorrect waste management poses a serious threat to the environment. To establish an effective waste management system, introductory data collection and analysis should take place and existing problems and possible solutions for improvement must be identified. This training session provides an overview and examples of protected areas’ waste management systems in different countries as well as offers recommendations for how to lay the groundwork for effective waste management.

Event Details

As the Synevyr National Nature park is the target area of the project “Ranger Training on Tourism and Waste Management”, this is a separate closed training session, dedicated to this particular park. Jointly with the park staff, local authorities and stakeholders, we will discuss how the local waste management system can be improved, and why this is an important step for nature conservation and tourism management. We will also analyse the clean-up action on the target area in the Synevyr National Nature Park and effectiveness of the campaign “Bring plastic – get free entry ticket” as well as projects focusing on other educational activities. Together with the Park management, we will develop the concept of how to establish their own waste management system, based on the project experience, capacity-building and outputs.

This Online Workshop is limited to the staff of the Park Management of Synevyr National Nature park.

Event Details

The objective of all Wilderness areas in the European Wilderness Network is to shift from Wilderness management to Wilderness stewardship. Wilderness stewardship planning is a holistic, long-term approach to Wilderness management. Here Wilderness stewards first determine whether there is the need for any management action before implementing an action plan. The essence of Wilderness stewardship is non-intervention management. For Wilderness stewards and protected area managers this means deciding to keep their hands off in order to enable nature and its dynamic processes to happen and evolve freely and undisturbed.

This webinar will introduce the framework of Wilderness stewardship planning, the template and the process of developing and implementing a wilderness stewardship plan.

Wilderness and protected areas are facing challenges with visitors and tourism, as more and more people are interested in seeing and experiencing the wild. However, a visitor and recreation plan is required in order to reduce human impact. Therefore, in course of this webinar ‘Wilderness and tourism’, we provide an opportunity to learn about adequate tourism management in Wilderness, that allows to experience solitude and a sense of Wilderness and at the same time aims to minimise human disturbance and modification.
