The Rational Allocation and Permissible Limits of Anthropogenic Interventions

Description

How clear and coherent is the modern institutional framework governing Protected Areas?

What changes have the legislative reforms of the 2021-2025 period brought about, and how do they affect public administration, consultants, investment, and the environment itself? In what way are the decisions of the Council of State and the Court of Justice of the European Union reshaping the way we understand nature protection?

What does the new Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991 mean in practice?

 The book offers a complete, systematic, and up-to-date analysis of the legislative and case-law framework currently in force for Protected Areas, including the interpretation of Article 218 of Law 4782/2021 on the designation of protection sub-zones, the special regime governing Wildlife Refuges (WR), the progress of Special Environmental Studies (SES) and Protection Presidential Decrees (PDs), and the critical issue of conservation objectives, while also examining whether, and under what conditions, a “transitional” model of sustainable development can be applied to Greek circumstances.

 The book is addressed to students, lawyers, environmental scientists, consultants, public administration officials, and professionals who need a reliable, up-to-date, and practically useful tool for interpreting and applying the Law of Protected Areas.
