EUROPARC CONFERENCE – A RICH EXPERIENCE FOR NATURE AND PEOPLE

As the year draws to a close, we would like to once again express our delight at the international EUROPARC 2025 conference "Nature for People, People for Nature" that we organized, which took place on October 7-10 in Birštonas, Nemunas Loops Regional Park.

This event brought together 406 nature conservation professionals from 37 countries, ranging from neighboring Baltic states to the United Kingdom and South America. The feedback after the conference was excellent: participants and guests expressed their gratitude for the professional and heartfelt organization of this international event.

Over four days, nature conservation professionals from European countries united around a common vision: "Nature for people, people for nature." Insights, discussions, experiences, and the high level of participant engagement made this conference a meaningful international dialogue and a moment of strong community spirit.

We invite you to read the conference report.

Summarizing the conference presentations, we can draw one of the strongest conclusions of this conference: "Nature restoration is not just an ecological goal. It is a social partnership built on shared values, cooperation, and a living connection between people and nature."
