Aims of the Park

NATURE PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL LANDSCAPE
The primary aim of national parks worldwide is the protection of nature, conservation of outstanding nature and culture, protection of endemic, rare and threatened plant and animal species, natural ecosystems and elements of inanimate nature, as well as the conservation and maintenance of the cultural landscape.

ENSURING SUSTAINABLE PARK DEVELOPMENT
The Triglav National Park (TNP) strives to ensure coordinated, sustainable development of the area and the industries practiced in the park, in particular agriculture, forestry and tourism, and to provide suitable material and other conditions for the life and work of the local population.

PROMOTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENJOYMENT OF THE PARK
Only protected nature can provide this generation and the generations to come with spiritual relaxation and growth. By providing guidance (info centres and info points, info boards, park trails), organising guided tours, outdoor biological workshops, creative workshops and various educational programmes, the TNP creates opportunities for visitors to enjoy the park. As for recreation, the TNP only supports activities that are in compliance with the primary objective of the national park.

RESEARCH
Research in the form of regular research and research projects is conducted in several different fields. Data acquired, results and findings are used in preparation of professional groundwork and as guidelines for further work.

EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
Education and awareness-building play an important role in understanding and respect for the park. TNP's activities in this field are: preparation and issue of publications, planned public relations activities, design and execution of diverse educational programmes, intended in particular for the young, and awareness-building campaigns.

MANAGEMENT
The mission of the Triglav National Park is to provide professional implementation support to decisions on nature protection and development and to open up possibilities for coordination of different interests and activities in the protected area. Proper management ensures implementation of the park's objectives and sets an example of management conduct for other protected areas. An important element of the park's activities is participation in the preparation of the new Triglav National Park Act and preparation of professional groundwork for the TNP Management Plan.
