Natura 2000 jako działanie na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju

Abstract

Nature protection in the form of the Natura 2000 network has undoubtedly had an infl uenced on sustainable development. The author presents some of the problems that can arise when considered in the context of European and Polish regulations, having regard to the functioning of the Natura 2000 sites. Also presented are the advantages and disadvantages of this form of conservation. The content of this paper seeks to answer the question of whether a ‘golden’ medium can be found between the Natura 2000 form of nature conservation and economic development of the sites covered. This work aims to show that it is possible to do business in Natura 2000 areas consistent with the principle of sustainable development.
