"It degrades nature"/ Environmentalists against the new law on (un)protected areas
17:24 : 01/27/2024

Environmental organizations and experts in the field of nature conservation have expressed their opposition through a public stance for legal changes in the "Protected Zones" law, where the draft law provides for the construction of national parks. The position comes after the presentation of the draft law in the commission.

" This draft law contradicts the purpose of the law on protected areas ", states the position of environmental organizations. According to them, if the proposed amendments are approved, the conditions will be created for hydropower plants to be built in the protected areas, hydrocarbons to be extracted, as well as urban constructions.

For environmental organizations, these types of activities "alter, intensively exploit and degrade natural ecosystems, thus violating the essence of the law on protected areas".

Without legal changes, protected areas are classified as territorial areas in which natural ecosystems and wildlife must be protected precisely from the aforementioned investments.

In the draft law, it is proposed to manage at least 20% of the surface of the protected area by the respective municipalities.
