Jungfrau-Aletsch: A Lesson in Sustainable Regional Development

Using the example of the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Swiss Alps, a teacher’s kit has been created that illustrates the challenge of harmonising nature conservation interests and human development interests. It enables high school students to grasp the universal value of this Alpine region, the various perspectives of the surrounding communities and the demands of protecting a delicate mountain ecosystem.
