Today is European Day of Parks! On this day in 1909, Europe"s first nine national parks were founded in Sweden. This year, the celebration puts the spotlight on the vital role of protected areas in shaping and implementing nature policies. Additionally, it highlights how they contribute to building a sustainable and resilient society for European citizens. Essentially, these areas are more than just guardians of biodiversity; they are also pillars of our collective well-being, reminding us to preserve our natural heritage.
