This Law establishes the procedure for the use, protection and restoration of wild flora in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania, its continental shelf and the economic zone of the Baltic Sea. This Law shall not apply to timber resources the use, protection and restoration of which is provided by the Forest Act; to species and communities of rare and endangered plants and fungi, the protection of which is regulated by the Law on Protected Plants, Animals and Mushrooms and Communities; to use, protection and reproduction of plants of cultural origin (cultivated field and garden plants, garden and ornamental plants). If international agreements ratified by the Parliament (Seimas) of the Republic of Lithuania establish other requirements for the use, protection and restoration of wild flora than this Law, the provisions of the international agreement shall apply. The protection of wildlife is organized and carried out according to the following principles: (a) diversity of plants, fungi and communities characteristic of nature in Lithuania must be preserved; (b) limiting the use of rare and endangered wildlife resources; (c) sufficient populations of wild plant species must be preserved; (d) restoration of damaged habitats of wild flora; and (e) prevention of negative impact of wildlife on land, forestry and other economic activities. Protection of wild flora shall be ensured by: (a) establishing protected areas in accordance with the procedure set forth by the Law on Protected Areas; (b) implementing the measures provided for in the long-term programs of the national economy, special territorial planning documents (forest management, land management, water management projects, state park planning schemes, use of natural, social and other resources, protection and restoration, natural framework schemes, etc.) to preserve undisturbed wildlife; areas of vegetation in the country or in the territories of individual municipalities; (c) concluding contracts with landowners and land users for the conservation of individual wild plants and their communities, restoration of damaged wild vegetation sites; and (d) limiting the use of wild plant resources. In order to protect wild flora, its resources and the use of the resources of the wild flora may be restricted by the decisions of the Government or its authorized institution and municipal authorities. Measures for the protection of wild flora shall be implemented by the Government or an institution authorized thereby. This Law consists of 5 Sections divided into 21 articles. Section 1 lays down general provisions. Section 2 regards protection of wild flora. Section 3 regards use of wild flora and its resources. Section 4 regards registration of wild flora species and state register thereof. Section 5 regards state control and responsibility for wild flora protection, and establishes liability for the infringement of this Law.
