history

On May 7, 1992 , the Environment Ministers of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Poland and the State of Brandenburg as well as the Vojwode of Stettin signed a joint declaration in which they expressed their will to create a cross-border protected area in the lower Oder valley in accordance with the criteria of the IUCN ( International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources ). With the resolution of the German-Polish Environmental Council of December 11, 1992, the name of this cross-border protected area was determined to be International Park Unteres Odertal and a German-Polish program council was created to jointly coordinate the development of the protected area. This program council usually meets once a year.

In accordance with the resolution of the German-Polish Environmental Council, the core area of ​​the park is formed by the Polish landscape protection park Unteres Odertal ( Park Krajobrazowy Dolina Dolnej Odry ), founded in 1993, and the German National Park Unteres Oderertal, founded in 1995 ( Park Narodowy Dolina Dolnej Odry ). In addition, the Zehden landscape protection park ( Cedynski Park Krajobrazowy ) and the landscape protection area National Park Region Lower Oder Valley ( Obszar Chronionego Krajobrazu Region Parku Narodowago Dolina Dolnej Odry ) belong to the protected area.
