5.c Means of implementing
protective measures
Th e basic intentions of the protection and
management of the nominated property
“Ancient Beech Forests of Germany” are
based on the management requirements of
the Slovakian-Ukrainian World Natural
Heritage property “Primeval Beech Forests
of the Carpathians”. Th e trilateral cooperation
forms the collective framework to
protect the nominated property on the basis
of an Integrated Management System
(annex 7.3.1). See chapter 5.e for detailed
information of the implementation of the
protective measures at the trilateral level.
Th e German extension is subject to effi cient
administrative protection of each single
component part (chapter 5.b). Functional
protection within the component parts and
their buff er zones is ensured by
– designation of protected areas by law or
ordinances,
– administrative bodies responsible for the
management of the component parts, and
– Management plans specifi cally devised
for the protected areas including the component
parts.
