The European Landscape Convention is a special agreement made between European countries to protect special and beautiful areas of land across Europe. All countries that agree to this convention agree to work together to keep these areas special for everyone to enjoy. They also promise to keep each other informed about the best ways to take care of these places, and to protect them from harm. The convention helps to protect mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and other special places where people can have lots of fun and see amazing things.
