ALPARC is an informal network that implements the Alpine Convention within the protected areas.

The main goal of the ALPARC network is the exchange of experiences and know-how between caretakers of alpine nature reserves in all topic areas that these have in common. The creation of an ecological association by means of connecting nature reserves via ecological corridors, contract-based nature conservation measures and sustainable spatial planning is one of the central goals of the alpine network. ALPARC also aims to raise awareness and inform the general public and local residents about the importance of the natural and cultural heritage of the Alps and the need to preserve that heritage.
