Report commissioned by PAN Parks European Management Organisation to review financial instruments for the protection of PAN parks.
Executive summary: The purpose of the 10-day desk-research resulting in this report was to find examples of and ideas for financial instruments that could generate funds for the PAN Parks organisation and the individual PAN Parks. No analysis of an overall strategy concerning the use of these instruments was made in this report, as this is the task of the PAN Parks European Management Organisation (PPEMO).
PPEMO has commissioned this report, because lack of funding is one of the main problems facing protected areas in Europe. The idea is that lack of funding is not caused by absence of money, but rather by absence of ways to ensure that revenues accrue to national park systems and local communities.
