Strictly protected areas

The protected natural areas of national importance, as that of the Bükk National Park are sustained by nature conservation management. The Nature Conservation Act No. 53 of 1996 lists the following measures: surveys and cadasters, and all other activities aiming at the protection, conservation, maintenance, reconstruction and interpretation of protected areas. The management plans of protected areas developed according to the law include all-round guidance to be taken into consideration in all cases by all.

Certain management requirements and directives were already included in the annex of the founding decree in 1976, regarding mostly the limitations to land uses different from the traditional forestry applied in the low-mountainous forested areas at those times. Although the tasks assigned to landscape protection were also included, the emphasis was definitely on the conservation of protected species.

The protection of wild plants and animals is a primary task. The regulation of various activities, especially that of forestry and grass land management is important in order to maintain protected plant species and their communities, protected animals along with the preservation of their habitats.

The conservation of other vertebrates of primary significance (e.g. Alpine newt, Saker falcon) can be implemented by special programmes (rescue, re-introduction, active protection). The big game species of the mountain (i.e. Deer, Roe-deer, Mouflon, Wild boar) are not under protection thus hunting them is permitted and prevents their over population and the consequent degradation of their habitats. Especially, the exotic Mouflon is unwanted, as it causes severe damage to the fragile rocky grassland.

The slow and spontaneous re-introduction of top predators (i.e. wolf and lynx) must also be encouraged by prohibiting their hunting and ensuring that their territories are.

By sustaining our grasslands and wetlands we can ensure the long-term survival of many, vulnerable animal species (e.g. invertebrates, etc.).

The protection of caves not only serves the preservation of these geological formations, but also sustains their fauna (primarily bats).
