How to protect the Alps with your behavior! // The speciAlps2 Code of Conduct

More and more people are attracted to the Alps as a recreational area. The pressure on nature is increasing, visitor guidance and a sensitive behavior during their stay is crucial for fauna, flora and people itself. How can a comic inspire to leave no trace behind? What happened in the Berchtesgaden National Park after a well-known influencer posted about the natural infinity pool at the Königsbach Falls? And how are influencers raising awareness against littering in nature? An audio trip through the Alps.

This podcast was produced in the frame of the Alpine-wide project speciAlps2, in which four pilot regions (Tiroler Lech Nature Park/AT, Kamnik-Savinja Alps/SL, Mountaineering village Balme/IT and Bad Reichenhall/DE) are testing measures to guide visitors. The project is supported by CIPRA International and the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities. It is made possible by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV).
