DANUBEPARKS
The Danube River Network of Protected Areas - has been established
on June 9th by the signing of the Declaration of Vienna, after about two years of preparational work. The Network strengthens the cooperation between the currently twelve protected areas in terms of nature protection.
Fields of work are:
- River Morphology & Revitalization
- Floodplain Management & Habitat Network
- Conservation of Danube Flagship Species
- Monitoring & Natura 2000
- Danube Nature Tourism
For the first three years of existence, the DANUBEPARKS activities are financed by the ETC-SEE Programme of the European Union.
DANUBEPARK's map is available here.

Landscapes without borders
Protected areas, like national parks, nature parks or biosphere reserves, are often isolated “islands” for the protection of the world’s biodiversity. They are separated
by less or unprotected landscapes, traffic corridors or settlements. Often animal
and plant species dispose of less space for migration, dispersion and reproduction than necessary.
To preserve natural and cultural heritage in the long run, TransEcoNet strives therefore for a better connection of protected and less or unprotected landscapes across national borders.
Sustainable development and management of transnational ecological networks
