Covering the history of the relations between humans and the wilderness, the exhibition displays an evolving Alpine landscape, taking the visitor along a temporal trip.

The spiral, symbol of the time advancement, is the shape on which the exhibition relies on to guide the viewer through different epochs, each of them having his own kind of connection between humans and the wilderness.

This trip is composed of 5 epochs and finishes in our future.

Are we ready to welcome the Wilderness the returning wilderness?

Updated in 2008, the display contains a map of the protected areas and gives a summary of the key features of the ALPARC network. It also includes photographs that illustrate the main themes currently being addressed through international cooperation.

The information display is available in four languages and is designed for use at conferences and other events organised by ALPARC and its partners.

An inventory of data relating to visitor numbers, amenities and tourism infrastructure in Alpine protected areas in order to evaluate the impact on the regional economy.

The document uses a typology to demonstrate the differences and similarities between the protected areas of the eight Alpine countries. The Alpine Network is seeking to contribute to a better understanding of these areas which vary by country and culture. 

Looks at forest management: forestry development in protected areas, follow-up and long-term monitoring.

The first section of this collection describes the environmental programs (agriculture and forestry) in existence in the Alpine countries and provides case studies specific to the Alpine protected areas. The second section presents a selection of quality measurement tools for facilitating sustainable local development and reconciling human activities and natural ecological balances.

A technical file combining the specifications drawn up following the consultation phase and needs assessment together with the reference documents for developing the system: conceptual data model, list of headings and diagram of logical relationships. The document also describes how the prototype database will be developed in conjunction with the GIS and outlines a plan for continuing the project.

This report examines the processes and actions used to establish the Carpathian Network of Protected Areas. The first section describes the nature conservation structures in place in the Alps and the Carpathian mountains and also gives technical details about the partnership. Based on the responses to a questionnaire, the second section looks at the needs and expectations of the Carpathian protected areas in relation to the network's future.
