Sažetak
The awareness of the necesity of nature protection is nowadays included in many legislation acts that treat particular human activities and the use of natural resources. In the focus of these legal provisions human interests are always set exclusively anthropocentrically. Nature Conservation Law (earlier ones as well as the last one, 1994) is different in this aspect. Its legal provisions protect nature, but the nature is given the right to exist past a man. The Law defines 9 categories of conservation: 1. National Park, 2. Natural Park, 3. Strict Preserve, 4. Special Preserve, 5. Natural Monument, 6. Protected Landscape, 7. Park Forrest, 8. Architecture Park Monument. 9. Particular Plant and Animal Species.
Protected natural areas are managed by public institutions as nonprofit organizations. National park and natural park administrations are established by the government, and for other categories of conservation county has the right to establish them on its territory. For particular procedures in protected areas or in connection with protected plant and animal species there are legal provisions that forbid their damage and degradation.
On the whole, we can be pleased with legal solutions and provisions that can be find in the present Nature Conservation Law that is in force, but we are not pleased with its enforcement.
Private property now appears in a more serious dimension, and the legal possibility of compensation and expropriation is almost symbolic. Insufficient financing heavily affects protected areas and reflects itself as a special danger in attractive tourist regions (the majority of national parks).
