The seminar „Creation of an ecological network of protected areas“ was organised by the Alpine Network of Protected Areas ALPARC in collaboration with the German ministry for Environment, Nature Protection and Nuclear Safety, the Bavarian State ministry for Environment, Health and Costumer Protection and the National park Berchtesgaden.

The aim of this seminar was to bring together experts from all different alpine countries in order to discuss the further steps towards the implementation of an alpine ecological network of protected areas. During the two days of the workshop, this very dynamic group of experts has analysed existing approaches and developed proposals on how to proceed in the alpine context.
