Z načrtnim strokovnim delom z gozdovi najbolje ohranjamo naravo: We preserve the nature best through our methodical professional work with forests

Forest is by far the most important at least mostly preserved element of the Slovenian landscape. The close-to-nature forestry keeps the forest as natural as possible, acquiring the goods from it at the same time. The close-to-natureforestry is therefore a basis for nature conservation in the whole landscape. The close-to-nature forestry as a complex manner of working with forest in Slovenia was implemented by Prof. Dr. Dušan Mlinšek, one of thepioneers of the close-to-nature forestry in the world. The close-to-nature forest management is performed in Slovenia for over 50 years. Founding the Natura 2000 network has played an important role for nature conservation in the whole EU as well as in Slovenia. The measures for achieving protection goals in Natura 2000 areas being planned in individual sectors' plans represent a Slovenian specialty. The measures in forests are thus planned in forest management plans and long-term wild game management plans. We collected opinions on the previous work for planning of measures for attaining protection goals in the Natura 2000 forests and propositions for even better work in this field in the future. Gozd je daleč najpomembnejša, vsaj pretežno ohranjena prvina slovenske krajine. Sonaravno gozdarstvo ohranja gozd, hkrati s pridobivanjem dobrin iz njega, kar najbolj naraven. Zato je sonaravno gozdarstvo temelj ohranjanja narave v vsej krajini. Sonaravno gozdarstvo je kot celovit način dela z gozdom v Sloveniji uveljavil prof. dr. Dušan Mlinšek, eden od pionirjev sonaravnega gozdarstva v svetu. V Sloveniji sonaravno gospodarimo z gozdom že več kot 50 let. Za ohranjanje narave v vsej EU in tudi v Sloveniji je bilo pomembno osnovanje omrežja Natura 2000. Slovenska posebnost je, da se ukrepi za doseganje varstvenih ciljev v območjih Natura 2000 v Sloveniji načrtujejo v načrtih posameznih sektorjev. Ukrepi v gozdovih se tako načrtujejo v gozdnogospodarskih načrtih in dolgoročnih načrtih za upravljanje z divjadjo. Iz območnih enot ZGS smo zbrali menja o dosedanjem delu pri načrtovanju ukrepov za doseganje varstvenih ciljev v gozdovih območij Natura 2000 in predloge za še boljše delo na tem področju v naprej.
