EUROPARC Expert Dialogue - Exploring Carrying Capacity
Navigating visitor management in Protected Areas
Across Europe, Parks and Protected Areas are receiving an increasing amount of visitors. These natural spaces need to support a range of recreational activities and outdoor sports, which in turn affects local communities, the natural environment, and visitors' experiences.
Protected Area managers are tasked with balancing these, often competing, demands. To do so, the carrying capacity of an area needs to be considered.
During this online dialogue, two experts on carrying capacity, Ricardo M. Nogueira Mendes and Carles Barriocanal Lozano, will share their experiences and engage participants in an open discussion to help share new light on this complex topic.
