Concluding remarks
Rauno Väisänen
Boreal Natura 2000 Seminar, Hämeenlinna, 29 May 2012

2. From the management of individual parks areas to that of networks
Shift of emphasis needed: nationally designed protected areas → Natura 2000 network
Primary management targets: focus on conservation state of priority species and habitats
Similar management principles for the whole network

3. Cooperation needed in the management of Natura network
Effective use of old and new networks, e.g. EUROPARC, Eurosite, SER Europe, ReNo
Networking of Life projects
Thematic national networks, e.g. restoration and management of a. forests, b. wetlands and c. grasslands in Finland

4. Management guidelines are needed
In Finland:
Principles of management of PAs
2nd state of the parks report
Guidelines for forest restoration
Guidelines for peatland
restoration
Globally
Ecological restoration of PAs: principles , guidelines and best practices
