World’s First Walkable Ecological Footprint




The Ecological Footprint is a measure of how much area of biologically productive land and water an individual, population or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates. According to Global Footprint Network’s most recent data, Austria’s per capita Ecological Footprint is approximately two times the global average and about three times as much as is sustainable.  If everyone in the world consumed like Austria, we would need 2.98 Planets.

National Park Gesäuse has a commitment to conservation, research, and public education of the natural world. With this new permanent exhibition the park service aims to raise public awareness of both national and individual Ecological Footprints and explore ways to reduce them.
