PAN Parks is a European organization that works to protect wilderness areas on the continent. It focuses on applying sustainable tourism practices to strengthen conservation of largely undisturbed natural areas over 10,000 hectares. PAN Parks aims to effectively conserve 1 million hectares of wilderness in Europe by 2015 by developing a network of protected areas and increasing their management effectiveness through audits and sustainable tourism promotion. Wilderness makes up only 1% of Europe's land but provides important environmental, social, and economic benefits.
