Protected areas management authorities

Protected areas are managed by the public institutions for the management of protected natural areas. The basic goal of their activity is the management of protected areas, in the sense of protection, maintenance and promotion, ensuring the unhindered unfolding of natural processes, and sustainable use of natural resources.

Public institutions of national and nature parks are established by virtue of a Regulation of the Government of the Republic of Croatia. Public institutes for the management of other protected areas are established by local or regional self-government units or the City of Zagreb, by virtue of a decision of the county assembly or City Assembly of the City of Zagreb.

Counties may hand over the management of a protected area to the local self-government unit, i.e. to a public institute established by a town or municipality.

In Croatia, there are currently 19 public institutes at the national level, 20 at the country level and 7 at the local level.
