Partners and Cooperations:


The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) works to ensure the sustainable and equitable use of waters in the Danube River Basin. The work of the ICPDR is based on the Danube River Protection Convention (DRPC), the major legal instrument for cooperation and transboundary water management in the Danube River Basin.

The EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) is a macro-regional strategy adopted by the European Commission in December 2010 and endorsed by the European Council in 2011. The Strategy was jointly developed by the Commission, together with the Danube Region countries and stakeholders, in order to address common challenges together. The Strategy seeks to create synergies and coordination between existing policies and initiatives taking place across the Danube Region.

ALPARC - the Alpine Network of Protected Areas, was founded in 1995 in order to participate in the implementation of the "Nature protection and landscape maintenance" protocol of the Alpine Convention. Since 2013, ALPARC has been an association founded on French law (July 1, 1901), and whose activities cover a vast geographical area stretching from the French Alps to the Slovenian Alps.

Since 2006, a new international organisation – the Carpathian Network of Protected Areas (CNPA) – has been working to conserve national resources in the Carpathians. The CNPA will coordinate joint projects designed to: improve cooperation between the seven Carpathian countries; facilitate exchanges between the Carpathian protected areas; raise awareness of the fragile ecosystems in the massif, and work to realise practical measures, such as the creation of an ecological network to ensure the survival of endangered species. There is a strong emphasis on cooperation with our Alpine neighbours.
