Hungary's National Parks

Fülszöveg

Hungary's first national park was established in 1973. In the frame of Action Pro Natura, reputed international scientists raised their voices to save the natural heritage of the Hortobágy. The greatest result of Hungarian nature conservation is that nine more national parks could be created during the thirty years since then, the last being the Őrség National Park in 2002.
This album offers a selection of the natural assets of Hungary's ten national parks, in other words, the ten flagships of Hungarian nature conservation. The photos document how wildlife, the landscape-forming activities of Man and the ancient forces that shape the Earth's surface have created and still change our environment.

• Bükk National Park
• Aggtelek National Park
• Fertő-Hanság National Park
