Charter Areas
75 protected areas in eight European countries
The map showing the Charter Areas as well as Charter Candidates is still under construction. Therefore, so far, we would like to provide you with a list of those protected areas, that have successfully applied for the European Charter (by country in alphabetical order). In the future, the Charter map will give you the possibility to search by name, country and/or keyword. Thank you very much for your patience.
