''' National park and sutainability '''

----

Activities of the NP are closely focused on issues of sustainable development, particularly integrating the concept of sustainable development into education of children and public as well. Within the UN Decade of education for sustainable development, the park has accredited projects such as junior ranger or ecological footprint. Ecological footprint is a big labyrint in the shape of a foot. Each person who enters the labyrint will get out of it only if he answers correctly the questions about sustainable way of life that are placed in tables all over the labyrint. It’s a very nice way how to introduce the issue to people who have never heard about it. Interesting way to educate children and public about their personal impact on the capacity of planet is a footprint calculator which is shown by the guide during the presenation to visitors and everyone can count thein contribution. The national park itself was accredited by Austrian ecolabel which means that its activities are sustainable and nature friendly. Advanced visitor management is responsible to keep enaugh space for plants and wildlife using pictures of local protected bird with his youngsters, we think it’s a very effective way to alert the tourists.
