Dear <<Gender>> <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>,
“If you want to walk fast, go alone.
If you want to walk far, walk together.”
Sustainable soil management needs cooperation. We are very pleased to announce that the Alpine Soil Partnership and the Soil Protection Working Group of the Alpine Convention will publish a joint newsletter, sharing updates on sustainable soil management in the Alpine area.
Walking together needs to start by taking a first step. This first one was already taken years ago, when neither the Alpine Soil Partnership nor the Soil Protection Working Group of the Alpine Convention did exist yet. Back then, various actors in the Alps started to collaborate more intensively and took action for sustainable soil management!
Ever since those first steps, further leaps have been taken. Achievements have been made of which we can be proud, such as the existence of the institutional Soil Protection Working Group of the Alpine Convention, into which all Contracting Parties of the Alpine Convention (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Monaco and the European Union) nominate members and the existence of the Alpine Soil Partnership, which is open for all people interested in soils to join. Many of you, who are reading this newsletter have been and still are part of this joint development!
In this newsletter edition we want to inform you about
· Alpine Soil Partnership activities
· News and current topics
· Updates on soil-relevant Alpine projects
· Dates & Events
This newsletter is also a call for contributions and expression of interest! We cordially invite you to join our activities - for further information see below.
Best regards,
Maria Legner, Coordination Unit of the Alpine Soil Partnership
Vera Bornemann, Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention
Christian Steiner, Chair of the Soil Protection Working Group of the Alpine Convention
Michele Freppaz, Chair of the Alpine Soil Partnership
