Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management
Wilderness management practices are increasingly seen as a tool to maintain Europe’s unique natural heritage including mountain habitats. The countless benefits of non-intervention management are becoming more and more apparent in a variety of different habitats across Europe, as well as the amount of work required for the proper implementation of this approach. Following the European Parliament resolution on wilderness, PAN Parks Foundation argues for the expansion of wilderness management in mountain areas. The sustainable tourism development process helps to ensure that tourism provides real benefits for the rural communities in and around the protected areas and at the same time reduces the pressure caused by tourism on the park.
