Outdoor recreation planning & management in protected areas using the Conservation Standards is a product of collaboration between experts from protected area management authorities in Sweden and FOS Europe. The group was convened by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency with the intent to harmonise the management of conservation and outdoor recreation in the Swedish protected area network.
The approach has been developed using examples from different Nature Reserves and National Parks in Sweden. This is an initial version built on existing management plans and experiences. We then applied it in depth with teams responsible for the designation of new National Parks in Sweden. Learnings from these applications have been integrated into this version of the guidance. The concepts
developed in the process have informed the planning for various other PAs.
