Abstract

La presente Ley establece el régimen jurídico básico de la conservación, uso sostenible, mejora y restauración del patrimonio natural y de la biodiversidad, como parte del deber de conservar y del derecho a disfrutar de un medio ambiente adecuado para el desarrollo de la persona. La presente Ley considera que el patrimonio natural y la biodiversidad desempeñan una función social relevante por su estrecha vinculación con el desarrollo, la salud y el bienestar de las personas y por su aportación al desarrollo social y económico. Por lo tanto, las actividades encaminadas a la consecución de los fines de esta ley podrán ser declaradas de utilidad pública o interés social, a todos los efectos y en particular a los expropiatorios, respecto de los bienes o derechos que pudieran resultar afectados. En consecuencia, las obras necesarias para la conservación y restauración de los espacios protegidos, para la conservación de especies amenazadas, o para la conservación de hábitats en peligro de desaparición, especialmente las que tengan por objeto hacer frente a fenómenos catastróficos o excepcionales, podrán ser declaradas por parte del Estado como de interés general, en el ámbito de sus competencias, previo informe de las comunidades autónomas afectadas. Se dispone que en la planificación y gestión de los espacios protegidos y la conservación de los hábitats y las especies, se fomentarán los acuerdos voluntarios con propietarios y usuarios de los recursos naturales, así como la participación de la sociedad civil en la conservación de la biodiversidad.
