Dear Caving Friends,
The Cave Protection Commission (ECPC) of the European Federation (FSE) organises a wide consultation of every European caver in order to build the European Charta of reference for Cave and Karst Protection. It has been brepared by the 30 members of the ECPC coming from more than 15 European countries, under the supervision of the ECPC President ad interim, Ioana Meleg. For the other countries (cf. list in post-scriptum) or for already participating countries, if you are motivated to contribute to the ECPC work or simply receive the information of the commission, please send an email with your data to protection@eurospeleo.org
This charta is made for the European cavers and general public. It is not made to replace the International Guidelines for Cave and Karst Protection (65 pages) full document (3.5Mo) available on IUCN.
It is neither made to replace the national charta your federation might have, but rather to harmonise the existing national documents that all go in the same direction.
The aim is to get a short document in 10 points that fits in a half page and that all cavers can understand and make it their own.
So you can find here attached a version that is submitted to your remarks and observations. The file is also available on Eurospeleo.
You can make suggestions directly in the file, that is in correction mode, either on the content or on the used words.
Please send your remarks and modified files out of mailing-lists to protection@eurospeleo.org before the 18th of December 2009,
Thank you for your participation,
Best speleological regards,
Olivier Vidal
Secr. General FSE
