The World Park Project

Iconic landscapes created in the 19th and 20th century are known as National Parks. In the 21st century, we are proposing an iconic landscape suited to our times, a World Park. Whereas national parks and related protected areas often excluded humans to preserve nature, the World Park actively includes them to now restore it. Extending across 70,000 kilometers of territory, through 55 nations, the World Park’s trails offer a vast range of cultural experiences, but in addition to this, they are the catalysts for the park’s greater mission of attracting investment and labor to restore areas of degraded land through which they pass. In this way the World Park is about enabling a mosaic of local restoration projects which can be linked together to form something greater than just the sum of its parts.
