Wilderness and biodiversity


2010 has been declared the International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) by the United Nations. 

PAN Parks welcomes this declaration as we also look to the opportunities triggered by natural succession and ecosystem dynamics to protect global biodiversity. In PAN Parks Wilderness areas, the priority is protecting ecosystem dynamics and supporting the protection of biodiversity - ecosystem dynamics link.
