136 TEHIC Towards a European Heritage Interpretation Curriculum 7.2.2. National Park Black Forest, a bit wilder The diversity of this landscape is reflected in the variety of fauna and flora: a large part of the National Park is a NATURA 2000 protected area. The motto “Let nature be nature” expresses the primary goal of the protected area. The protected area also has the task of conducting intensive educational work in order to in- spire future generations for wilderness and nature conservation. Children, young people, and adults can experience in the National Park what it means to leave nature on its own. They work intensively with kindergartens and day-care centres. Another focus is on schools of all types and pupils of all ages, as well as on students at universities. In addi - tion, the National Park offers programmes for teachers, educators, youth groups, clubs, and associations. The National Park sees itself as an initiator for the topics of wilderness and conservation. Criteria it meets and justification 1. Time and Sustainability The staff in the field of wilderness education work with different approaches: at events such as guided tours and lectures, visitors of all ages are informed about the tasks and goals of the National Park. However, since young people in particular are to be empow - ered to shape a sustainable world responsibly and actively, the educational work also focuses on cooperation with kindergartens and schools.
