SOS Parks
The ''Sustainable sport in the Parks" (SOS Parks) project aims to make sports events held within the Protected Areas more sustainable, investigating the impacts they produce on the environment. The idea stems from observing sporting events held in the Protected Areas of Partner Countries. These events often take place in inadequately mapped areas, during sensitive seasons for local fauna and flora, and rely on highly polluting disposable products. Unfortunately, they often lack awareness of the environment and fail to recognize the crucial role we all play in promoting sustainable development while safeguarding biodiversity for future generations.
Central to our project's success is the development of the "Guidelines of Sports Events in Protected Areas." These guidelines will provide essential recommendations for environmental protection and promote environmental education activities. By adhering to these guidelines, we can make sports events in protected areas more sustainable and contribute to a healthier planet.
