What is NATURA 2000?
National park, landscape park, nature reserve, monument of nature, ecological land - these are main forms of nature conservation according to Polish law. It is obvious however, that neither a park and a reserve, nor the legal basis which they were established upon can protect the natural environment. These are people, who either conserve nature within the park’s borders or damage it. Soon, a new form of nature conservation shall be introduced in Poland - NATURA 2000 areas.  more »
Who is responsible for nature conservation in Poland?
Legal acts pertaining to environmental protection in Poland are made by the Parliament - Sejm and Senate. Minister of Environment is obliged to put them into effect, as well as issue the specific decrees on nature conservation and environmental protection. However, some decrees - e.g. a decree on establishing a new national park - are issued by the Council of Ministers.  more »
