Forms of nature protection such as national parks and Natura 2000 sites
Some of the forests are within special protected areas designated according to legislation. Total forest area in special protected areas (SPA) accounts for 28.4 % of the total forest area in the Czech Republic. Forests are really important in terms of biological diversity and in terms of the elements of the natural habitat they preserve.
