Peace Trails Initiative

Trails have always been places where people come together. In times when the world can feel divided, trails offer a shared path where people from different cultures, communities, and backgrounds can connect through a common love of nature and exploration. Whether walking, volunteering, or caring for the landscapes we value, the global trail community demonstrates how cooperation and understanding can cross borders. The World Trails Network believes that trails are not only pathways through landscapes, but also pathways toward dialogue, friendship, and peace.

At the close of the 7th World Trails Conference, WTN Honorary Patron Ms Myung Sook Suh announced the launch of an international Peace Trails Initiative. In her message, she said, “The WTN is not limited to trails experts and trails industry. But it plays a central role in guaranteeing the happiness of hikers, sustainability, conservations, and preservation of the world, and bringing solution to the environmental problems in the era of global warming. Let’s hold our hands and achieve it together. Beyond the country and continent, the global networking will ensure sustainable future to next generation by suggesting the right direction.”
