Sažetak
The aim of this article is to propose comprehensive, environmentally and socially relevant framework of nature protection ethics (NPE), which allows reliable quality assessment of nature protection methodology, particularly institutional nature protection system applied in Croatia. For this purpose, systemic series of nature protection ethics (NPE) principles and sub-principles have been developed, followed by general and specific indicators of their practical application. They are grouped within framework of ecological integrity, stability, and continuity; diversity, sustainability, legality, organizational development, social support, local development, and involvement and cooperation with all relevant social sub-systems.
Croatian nature protection system lacks full credibility and effectiveness, although it is legislatively and institutionally well supported. Uneven work quality of competent public institutions brings examples of neglecting fundamental nature conservation objectives, only basic cooperation with local communities, and mere formal public involvement.
