Provisions on the protection of the buffer zone
All acts and ordinances specified herein also apply to the surrounding buffer zone, since
each of the proposed component parts forms part of a larger surrounding protected area.
The acts and ordinances invariably apply to the entire area.
Measures to present and promote the nominated component parts
The particular challenge in presenting and conveying the nominated site lies in the serial approach
of the nomination. In addition to their respective unique features, the five nominated
component parts thus also communicate the higher common framework as well as their role
as part of a serial nomination. Furthermore, they meet their role as media communicating the
UNESCO World Heritage in general.
To ensure the best possible information, presentation, and communication of the nominated
component parts, the communication concept “World Heritage Beech Forests” has been
developed to account for said role (see annex 5.6 nomination dossiers) . The concept is currently
under implementation.
Beside the public relation and educational activities outlined in chapter 5h and 5i of the
nomination dossier, there are organisations to support the protected areas that are particularly
committed to communicate with the local public and action groups.
