The 2025 EUROPARC Conference will take place from October 7th to 10th in the heart of Lithuania, in the stunning Nemunas River Loops Regional Park – an area renowned for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. This year’s event will be hosted in Birštonas, an internationally recognized resort town celebrated for its wellness traditions, mineral springs, and beautiful natural landscapes.

With the central theme “Nature for People, People for Nature”, the conference will highlight the deep interdependence between people and nature and underscore our shared responsibility to protect ecosystems for the benefit of current and future generations.

This year’s gathering will also mark key milestones, such as the 50th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention, and tackle urgent challenges like ecosystem restoration – central to the EU’s Nature Restoration Law.

More than just a forum for exchanging ideas, the sm will serve as a powerful reminder of the need to restore and safeguard nature – not only for its inherent value, but for the well-being of people and the planet.
