The EUROPARC Federation: Výroční konference EUROPARC 2014 ožívá: "Pochopme hodnotu Přírody"
Oscar Wilde once said "...a cynic, knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing".
While modern society appears to be capable of putting a monetary value on almost anything, understanding the true and full value of nature and its potential benefits for society poses a particular challenge.
More than 300 professionals responsible for the management of Nature and sustainable development of Protected Areas across Europe will gather this autumn in Killarney, Ireland to consider the Value of Nature.
Nature needs to have a secure place in our European value system; it is the life support system from which we draw resources for our 21st century society! In 2010, TEEB - The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity report examined the benefits the world gets free from Nature. This autumn, the annual EUROPARC Federation conference, supported by the Irish Ministry of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, seeks to highlight not just the environmental and social benefits of Protected Areas, but also the real economic benefits that can be derived from Nature.
Keynote speakers from Canada, Finland, UK , Belgium and Ireland will gather in Killarney and explore the value of Nature to society, with intensive and topical workshops drawing on best practise from across Europe, debating in detail not just how we protect Nature but the values that underpin that need to conserve Nature.
EUROPARC President Thomas Hansson, (SE) indicated that "Europe's Nature heritage, including the designated Natura 2000 sites are managed better through international cooperation and we are delighted that our hosts in Ireland, have provided this unique opportunity to not just consider the values of Nature but to show the practical benefits Protected Areas provide for communities across Europe."
Jimmy Deenihan, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht said 'Placing a value on nature and measuring its worth to national and international communities is not easy. I am delighted that Ireland, through my Ministry, has presented the EUROPARC Federation and its members with a platform to coalesce and debate how we can improve awareness, deepen understanding and enhance appreciation of Europe's shared natural inheritance.' The Minister added, 'this year's conference will showcase the economic and socio-economic potential of the natural heritage sector and improve our understanding of how economies, the natural environment, and well-being of societies are interlinked.'
