COST Action E4: Forest Reserves Research Network 51 FORMS AND CATEGORIES OF NATURE PROTECTION According to the Nature Protection Act of 1991, different forms and categories of nature protection are defined in Poland. Out of them, the most important ones for the protection of forests are: National park - a national park covers protected area distinctive of its particularly high scientific, natural, social, cultural and educational value, of at least 1000 ha area. All elements of nature and landscape are protected on an area of a national park. All activity in the area of a national park are nature protection-oriented, and they have absolute priority. The most substantial aim of a national park is to learn and conserve the whole of its natural systems together with the conditions of their functioning as well as reconstruction of deformed and extinct links of our domestic nature. A national park becomes established following a decree of Government. Figure 2: National Parks in Poland
