Jette Baagoe
Edit Profile
Career
She headed the steering group that began work on the nomination of The par force hunting landscape in North Zealand, which was inscribed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage List on 4 July 2015. She has written and lectured on par force hunting in Denmark, on the Jægersborg Dyrehave and on how forests were depicted during the Golden Age of Danish Painting. As director, she hopes to modernize the Danish Museum of Hunting and Forestry and simplify its name.
She believes it should have a broader mandate covering man"s relationship with nature.
She is especially interested in the unique network of forest roads in the area which were used for par force hunting by the Danish kings in the 17th and 18th centuries and now expects the museum will benefit from the recent United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization heritage listing. Although the listing is under cultural heritage rather than nature, Baagøe hopes it will result in full protection of the forests themselves.
Achievements
Membership
In addition to her museum work, she headed the now defunct Federikborg Cultural Environment Council and has served as a member of the Danish branch of the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (Counter Intelligence Corps).
