… will you find species dependent on high amounts of decomposing wood in large areas.
Czech National Parks
- Territories of national parks currently represent the only category of specially protected areas in the Czech Republic where it is possible to apply procedural nature protection on larger surface areas.
- The objective of this management method is not just the conservation of specially protected species of fauna and flora or significant natural biotopes.
- The objective of this protection is ensuring that ecological processes in nature are not directly disturbed by humans.
- Therefore, the territories of national parks are the last sanctuaries in the Czech and Moravian natural landscape where it is possible to leave nature to its own course without human boundaries, tables, or standards.
- Research projects implemented by the National Park’s employees and other specialists from a number of cooperating scientific and academic institutions bring valuable knowledge used in nature protection practice even outside the National Park.
- Nature inside the National Park represents a dynamically evolving system without a definite past and without a definite future.
- Long-term, systematic research and monitoring associated with professional assessment of the results obtained represents the only source of information and recommendations for responsible administration of the territory.
