The number of visitors to Hungarian forests - and especially to the areas managed by the Pilisi Parkerdo - has increased significantly in recent years, especially during and after the pandemic. In addition to a healthy and safe environment, the role of forests has also become more valuable in protecting against the increasingly powerful effects of climate change. The Pilis Park Forest, seeing and sensing the undoubtedly growing social interest and demand for forests, founded the Forests for Commonweal Foundation in the winter of 2020, which supports initiatives that, in addition to protecting the natural and human environment and developing environmental culture, serve the enrichment of our natural resources, biodiversity, and climate protection. The good condition of forests is a public interest - that is, a public good - but the preservation and use of areas in their natural state is the result of the cooperation of many disciplines, professionals, and decision-makers, which is why partnership is a defining element of the Foundation's operation. Pilisi Parkerdo manages the forests of the wider surroundings of the capital. The institution operates in an area where there are millennia-old traditions of coexistence and harmony between people and nature. Today's sustainable forest management also serves to preserve natural values, while providing opportunities for healthy recreation: there are 30 million visitors in the parks / forests annually. Pilisi Parkerdo was celebrating its 50th anniversary - while the forest itself is existing for several hundreds of years, manages the country's largest ecotourism infrastructure, which offers recreational opportunities for hikers, cyclists and horse riders alike. The founders of Pilisi Parkerdo had a unique goal: to develop and implement a forest management model that prioritizes the tourist and cultural role of forests and places great emphasis on the protection of the landscape and nature.
