About NEN
National ecological network was defined by the new Nature Protection Law and will include internationally as well as nationally ecologically important areas. In compliance with EU mechanism Habitat Directive, parts of the ecological network can be protected by some protected area category, or by developing special management plans and mechanisms of nature acceptability assessment for each threatening intervention. Negatively assessed intervention can be approved only in cases of prevailing public interest and with compensation measures defined by Nature Protection Law. All threatened habitat types are also part of the ecological network. Nature Protection Law defines Map of Croatian Habitat Types as an obligatory basis for development of all sorts of physical and land-use plans. |
