    Green Belt Goes Baltic: Closing the Gap Between Central Europe and Fennoscandia

    Green Belt goes Baltic: Closing the Gap between Central Europe and Fennoscandia Young people in the southern and eastern Baltic Sea countries today can hardly understand why only two decades ago people were allowed to visit only designated beaches, why gigantic spot lights lit the beaches at night, why the Latvian shoreline was literally combed every day or why peninsulas were turned into mine fi elds in Germany. Since those times, these coasts have experienced a tremendous boom in building and development – largely not following the rules of sustainable development. An increasing demand for space for uses such as tourism, harbour and marina development, sand extraction, and power constructions confl icts seriously with nature conservation eff orts. At the same time, European Directives such as NATURA 2000, the Water Framework Directive, the recommendations for and evaluation of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) and the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive have already or will trigger a number of national legal acts which can support future conservation of the Baltic Sea coast. However, these top-down activities need to be accompanied by bottom-up initiatives for full implementation in society. Th is is where the Baltic Green Belt sets in.

  • Defining Wilderness Within IUCN

    Defining Wilderness Within IUCN

    Article for the International Journal of Wilderness, to be published in 2009 Defining wilderness in IUCN Nigel Dudley, Cyril F. Kormos, Harvey Locke and Vance G. Martin The IUCN protected area classification system describes and defines a suite of protected area categories and management approaches suitable for each category, ranging from strictly protected “no-go” reserves to landscape protection and non-industrial sustainable use areas. Wilderness has its own protected area category under IUCN’s classification system, Category Ib, which describes the key objectives of wilderness protection and, more importantly, identifies the limits of what is and is not acceptable in such areas. At the 2008 World Conservation Congress, a new edition of management guidelines for the IUCN categories (Guidelines for Applying Protected Area Management Categories, Dudley 2008) was published following long consultation. Guidance for wilderness protection is now more detailed and precise than in the previous 1994 edition, and as a result will help further the application of this category around the world. We describe the revisions to the new guidelines generally, and some of the implications for wilderness protected areas specifically. Wilderness areas and protected areas The term “wilderness” has several dimensions: a biological dimension, because wilderness refers to mainly ecologically intact areas, and a social dimension, because many people – from urban dwellers to indigenous groups – interact with wild nature, and all humans depend on our planet’s wilderness resource to varying degrees. A wilderness protected area is therefore an area that is mainly biologically intact, is free of modern, industrial infrastructure, and has been set aside so that humans may continue to have a relationship with wild nature.

    Tracing the Former Iron Curtain, Which Divided Europe Into East and West

    European Green Belt Borders Separate - Nature Unites Tracing the former Iron Curtain, which divided Europe into East and West for almost forty years, a Green Belt now winds its way from the Barents Sea to the Adriatic Sea, and on from there to the Black Sea. It serves as a connection between valuable landscapes, habitats, and people. Over 12,500 km, a unique habitat network, a living landscape of memory developed and is still growing today. Borders Separate - Brown bear (Ursus arctos) Nature Unites Arnica (Arnica montana) Treasure Trove of Biodiversity Birds singing, the sound of the waves, the cry of an eagle, and the smell of wilderness places. Large mammals like brown bear, moose and grey seal, small insects such as wild bees and dragonflies, and rare plants such as arnica, all live here in harmony in the blooming meadows, the murmuring streams, the rich forests and the roaring sea. A splendid fan of rare habitats unfolds into an incomparable natural heritage. Where the Iron Curtain once separa- ted people, nature found rest and built her home, then as is now. Wild bee (Anthophora plumipes) Former border tower at the inner-German Green Belt A Landscape of Memory Against Oblivion The Green Belt Europe is an extraordinary symbol of modern European history.

    Albania X-Treme

    0 500 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 Albania X-treme Europe's former North Korea? The Balkans' India? It's difficult to describe colorful, turbulent and quickly changing Albania in a short way. One might say it's an extraordinary oasis in a rather conformist Europe. While before nearly undocumented, Albania only emerges in history when taking its stand against the Ottoman Empire under national hero Skanderbeg. After his death the alliance crumbled and during 500 years of Ottoman occupation the predominant religion changed to the Islamic faith. Only in few areas in the North, which we’re going to visit, the Catholic Church remained present, resisting every ruler and even Enver Hoxha’s regime. During the communist period, Albania was almost completely closed off from the rest of the world and this way preserved in an early 20th century state, only released to the public after the collapse of communism in the early 90s. Now, 20 years after its opening, Albania is calling the world to discover its natural glamour and authentic culture. No surprise that is was chosen the top country to visit in 2011 by Lonely Planet. This tour is created for very fit and experienced hikers who are up for the challenge of crossing Albania's Accursed Mountains from West to East on foot, while being able to enjoy stunning views and the famous highlanders' hospitality on an 8-day itinerary. Average daily walking time: 7 hours The itinerary covers the Albanian Alps, including the valleys of Kelmend, Shala and Valbona. It starts with picturesque mountain ranges around Lepushe and Nikc, takes you to the remote villages of Thethi and Valbona, continues with a boat ride over the scenic Lake Komani and ends in bustling Tirana.
  • Civilizational Backgrounds and Multiple Routes to Modernity

    Civilizational Backgrounds and Multiple Routes to Modernity

    ■ STUDIE The Historical Regions of Europe: Civilizational Backgrounds and Multiple Routes to Modernity GERARD DELANTY* Historické regiony Evropy: Civilizační základ a vícečetné cesty k modernitě Abstract: A systematic typology or comparative analysis of European historical regions does not exist and there is relatively little literature on the topic. The argument in this paper is that a six-fold classification is needed to capture the diversity of Europe’s historical regions and that these should be seen in terms of different routes to modernity and have broad civilizational backgrounds in common. The forms of modernity that constitute Europe as a world historical region correspond to North Western Europe, Mediterranean Europe, Central Europe, East Central Europe, South Eastern Europe, North Eastern Europe. Key words: Modernity, civilizations, Europe, historical regions. Introduction The topic of this paper concerns the problem of conceptualizing the plural nature of Europe.1 The civilizational background has itself been diverse with routes within it that were shaped by the western and eastern currents of Roman civilization, the Russian offspring of the Byzantine tradition that developed in the east, and the multifarious impact of Islam on the Iberian and the South Eastern regions. Four inter-linked civilizational currents formed, what I have elsewhere termed, the European inter-civilizational constellation: the Gre- co-Roman, the Western Christian, the Byzantine-Russian and Ottoman-Islamic traditions [Delanty 2002].2 The unity and diversity of Europe derives from its civilizational diversity, which also established the basis of different traditions of empire. However, this does not offer a sufficient basis for an assessment of the unity and diversity of Europe, for with the unfolding of the project of modernity new dynamics came into play bringing about a more complicated tapestry that cannot be so easily accounted for in terms of civilizational forms alone.
