Karkonosze National Park partners with businesses to protect mountain ecosystems

Karkonoski Park Narodowy, UNEP/GRID-Warszawa, and Grupa Żabka collaborated to reduce tourist pressure on mountain ecosystems in Poland.

The partners combined ecological knowledge and business engagement to renovate over 4.5 km of hiking trails. They also installed 27 educational boards and distributed 6,000 free maps to visitors. This initiative is part of the Re:Generacja program, which supports a project co-funded by the European Union. In October, more than 60 volunteers from Grupa Żabka joined the efforts to protect the park.

These actions aim to facilitate safer hiking while preserving the natural environment.
