National Park protection status
The area of each National Park is divided into four categories of Special Zone that determine the degree of protection. In all National Parks, generally less than 50% of the area is reserved within the two highest protection zones.Ranked in order of protection, the zones are:
- Special Protection Zone, which provides the highest protection status and according to bureaucratic guidelines is considered an area where scenic beauty needs to be maintained and the erection of structures is prohibited.
- Class I Special Zone, Structures are also prohibited, but where scenic beauty should be maintained "somewhat strictly", a laxer level of protection.
- Class II Special Zone. Forestry, agriculture and fishing may be carried out. Buildings associated with these activities them may be built, as well as cottages and villas so long as they do not obstruct the scenic beauty of an area. Clear cutting of forests is not permitted
- Class III Special Zone. The same as a Class II Special Zone, but for areas whose scenic nature is not considered threatened by forestry and clear cutting is permitted.
There are two additional National Park protection zones. Marine Park Zones, which apply to marine flora and fauna, offer the same protection as a Special Protection Zone. Ordinary Zones are areas buffering National Parks which are not strictly protected, but construction of large buildings is sometimes not permitted.
