Resumen

This Act establishes the procedure for designating protected natural "objects", the nature of the protection, and the rights and obligations of land-owners, land-holders and others with respect to those objects. Natural objects subject to being protected under this Act fall into three categories: protected areas (such as national parks, etc), protected natural monuments, or protected species, fossils or minerals. Natural objects may be publically or privately owned, but in either case they are accorded the same protection (art. 4). The Act specifically names national parks and Category I protected species. Other protected objects are to be designated in accordance with procedures to be established by the Government of Estonia (art. 5). The protection order will designate a manager for the protected object (art. 6), who has the duty of compiling a "Statement of Protection Obligations" (art. 7) that governs management of the object. Various restrictions concerning the use of real property within a protected area or containing a protected object are set forth in article 9, including an obligation on the part of owners to allow public access, a right of preemption and expropriation by the State, and restrictions on changes in land use without approval of the manager. Part II of the Act deals with Protected Areas, and defines different categories, such as strict nature reserves, special management zones, limited management zones, national parks, protected landscapes and others.
