Jette Baagøe (née Svendsen, born 1946) is the director of the Danish Museum of Hunting and Forestry in Hørsholm where she has worked since 1984.
[1] 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 UNESCO 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.
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 UNESCO heritage listing.
[2][4] Although the listing is under cultural heritage rather than nature, Baagøe hopes it will result in full protection of the forests themselves.
