Since 2024, Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia’s invasion, standing up for shared Western values. Supporting Ukraine is crucial not only for its future but for the stability of Europe and the wider world. Despite immense challenges, the courage of the Ukrainian people, combined with international aid, offers hope for the country’s reunification and rebuilding. Global Conservation has been actively supporting Ukraine's national parks, protecting its wilderness, and contributing to conservation efforts.
This event will unite trekkers, mountain bikers, and horse riders to explore the breathtaking Carpathians while standing in solidarity with Ukraine. Participants will directly support conservation and local communities, helping preserve the region’s unique culture and natural beauty.
Notably, the organization is already actively working in Ukraine, supporting, among others, the Carpathian National Nature Park and the Verkhovyna National Nature Park.
Located in the headwaters of the Black and White Cheremosh rivers in the Chyvchyn Mountains on the border with Romania, Verkhovyna National Nature Park showcases pristine natural landscapes formed over millions of years. The project aims to develop Verkhovyna as a key tourist and rehabilitation hub within the Carpathian region by enhancing tourism infrastructure, supporting nature conservation efforts, and promoting inclusive tourism practices.
