Zoltán Kun, Executive Director of PAN Parks Foundation, presented arguments for wilderness conservation in Europe to convince politicians. Key points included: (1) Wilderness makes up only 1% of Europe's land but is a scarce resource, (2) Wild threats and opportunities exist to restore abandoned land to wilderness, (3) PAN Parks works to protect wilderness areas and form a connected European Wilderness Preservation System. Research is needed to map wilderness, prove biodiversity benefits, find innovative financing, and understand social benefits to enhance wilderness protection.
This presentation was given during the TEEB conference in Leipzig on 22 March 2012. I was trying to make the case that wilderness areas require a special attention when applying the TEEB principles, because their direct use values are very limited, very often '0'. This was the first presentation when I was trying to visualise our The Million Project saying that this would mean wilderness protection of the size of Cyprus. While we have already covered Germany with concrete to make a whole country a concrete jungle.

ecosystem services versus commercial forestryZoltan Kun
I used this presentation during the TBLI Europe 2012 conference in Zurich on 8 November. I argue that investors should start valuing the non-use value of forests! There are 4 examples in the presentation which demonstrate that non-use values might deliver more than exploiting nature!
The presentation is divided into 4 parts:
introducing PAN Parks and how we define wilderness
introducing the concept of economics of wilderness through payment for ecosystem services
presenting 4 examples across Europe
explaining the sense of urgency to safeguard Europe's last pieces of wilderness
Investors! Change your way of thinking and go for wilderness!
I presented this during the Europarc 2012 annual conference. The presentation has two parts: 1) chronological view of how wilderness protection evolved between 2008 and 2012, 2) what PAN Parks is planning to contribute to wilderness protection in Europe in 2013

The Last of the Wild: A Partnership for Protection by Zoltan KunWILD Foundation
Zoltan Kun, Executive Director of PANParks, Hungary, spoke during the Saturday (7 November) WILD9 plenary on Global Wilderness Commitments, specifically on "The last of the Wild: A Partnership for Protection."
This presentation was given during a seminar in Kuhmo, Finland on 14 August 2012. The seminar was about sharing exerience and lessons learned with Finnish entrepreneurs about wilderness and wildlife tourism. PAN Parks was showcased along with some of my private experience.
Natura 2000 and wilderness - the link to European policyZoltan Kun
in the lack of the representation of the European Commission, the Chairman of the European Wilderness Society put together a presentation about the link between wilderness protection and European Union policy in Europe.
The Million Project with PAN Parks Wilderness DefinitionZoltan Kun
This is a presentation which I prepared for the Identification and Mapping of Wilderness workshop (Brasov, Romania, 23-24 February 2012). The event was organised by WWF Danube/Carpathian Programme as part of its attempt to map wilderness areas in the Carpathian.
My main message was:
we need to be strict with our wilderness definition and true wilderness areas should join the PAN Parks' The Million Project!
This is the presentation which I delivered in Salamanca during the 10th World WILDERNESS Congress (aka WILD10) on 4 October 2013. I deliberately used little text, because I was trying to a) tell stories and b) engaging the audience with my 99 luftballon idea (the presentation should soon be available in video format)
I was basically arguing for the followings:
- Europe still got wilderness
- 1 million hectares of the most precious wilderness areas are included in the PAN Parks' European Wilderness Preservation System
- we simply need more wilderness than the current 1%
and finally I called the audience to join us to fight for 5% wilderness cover in Europe
Exodus and PAN Parks started their partnership in 2006. Over the 6 years of working together Exodus raised 30 000 Eur through its Finnish wilderness week in Oulanka National Park (thank also for Basecamp Oulanka) for wilderness protection. In order to commemorate this achievements and acknowledge Exodus I presented our The Million Project approach to Exodus employees in London on 29 September 2011. Exodus is going to support The Million Project from 2012.
PAN Parks, the European Wilderness WatchdogZoltan Kun
During the WILD10 conference (10th World Wilderness Congress), my colleague Vlado Vancura was presenting PAN Parks and highlighted the importance of our verification process, which audits the management effectiveness of wilderness areas across Europe.
This process makes PAN Parks the European Wilderness Watchdog.
We have the unique expertise to check the existence of wilderness and advise protected areas how to improve management effectiveness
This third-party evidence based verification is going to be the basis of our newly developed Wilderness Integrated Management (WIM, working title) system.
Presentation to Wilderness Foundation UKZoltan Kun
This presentation was provided to the Board of the Wilderness Foundation Uk in London on 28 September. The intention is to create a partnership with WF UK along our commonalities and synergy. The partnership can cover fundraising and communication aspects too.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

However, there is not much left - the remaining pieces of wilderness are often threatened on a daily basis
Communications is an essential part of our work to raise professional and public support for wilderness protection. Creating positive protection of wilderness could be the basis of successful protection In order to do this we use the parks of the network as examples of the best of Europe’s wilderness ‘ You can go there and experience wilderness yourself, earn about it in the field’
