Pešout P.: Co-operation between Nature Conservation and Monument Care “Rediscovered“
Nature conservation and landscape protection and cultural monument care have had a long and joint tradition in what is now the Czech Republic, having been lasting since the early 19thcentury. In 1991, both the sectors had been splitted: it resulted in different approaches both in their policies and in practice.
Nevertheless, the current experience – both national and from abroad – shows that an intensive collaboration in nature and cultural heritage management and a joint presentation are needed. Although an informal co--operation, particularly among non-governmental organisations (e.g., various activities of the Czech Union for Nature Conservation, CUNC), has never been interrupted, a factual co-operation was formalized only in June 2011 where the Memorandum of Understanding between the National Heritage Institute (NHI) and the Agency for Nature Conservation and Landscape Protection of the Czech Republic (ANCLP CR) was signed by the directors of both institutions.
