National Ecological Network
NECONET - Slovakia
The co-ordinator of the design of the European Ecological Network (EECONET) through partial proposals of National Ecological Networks (NECONETs) is the IUCN European Programme. The presented publication "National Ecological Network of Slovakia" is the first part of the international project called "IUCN National Nature Plan" simultaneously carried out in the four countries in Central Europe (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic). This interdisciplinary project concerns all important sectors of the economy, since the effective nature protection has to consider not only ecological aspects but also the economic, social, cultural and political processes which influence it.
