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.

Please register RSVP for this course.

As part of the five-session online training course “Ranger training on Tourism and Waste management in Protected Areas”, 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. Please see under Related Events the other online training sessions.
