Important areas
Protected areas represent the core of the overall protection and key sites of the ecological network. This protection is today covering about 9.9 p.c. of Croatia's mainland territory, which is planned to be considerably increased. The old Nature Protection Act specifies eight categories of the space protection: national park, nature park, strict reserve, special reserve, natural monument, protected landscape, park forest and horticultural monument. The new Act from 2003 adds another category of the regional park. The greatest part of the protected area refers to nature parks and national parks (8.7 p.c. of the mainland area). The majority of planned protected areas relate also to nature parks.
There are nine categories of nature conservation designation types, defined on the national level by the Nature Protection Law from 2003. Six of them have the main purpose to protect flora, fauna and habitats (biological diversity).
