The project is aimed at drawing up documentation of nature protection, the care programme of the Protected Landscape Area (CHKO) Vihorlat and the UNESCO World Heritage Site care programme called Old Beech Forests and Beech Forests of the Carpathians and other regions of Europe, which will act as an integrated management plan for the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within their territory there are also several areas of European importance for which the Slovak Republic must have drawn up documents of care and cannot be drawn up separately. At the same time, the requirements of other international territories will also be taken into account, e.g. the Eastern Carpathian International Biosphere Reserve, the Council of Europe Diploma for Protected Areas granted to the Poloniny National Park.The care documents will be based partly on existing documents from the mapping of the presence of protected areas (habitats and species), but it will also be necessary to house certain parts of the area, especially with forest cover. Care programmes will also include an analysis of socio-economic conditions and factors acting and influencing the subject matter of protection following ownership relationships and the reason for the protection of individual territories. The aim of the project will be to draw up documentation of nature protection in accordance with the curriculum in Annex 18 to Decree No. 24/2003 Coll. implementing Act No 543/2002 Coll. on nature protection and landscape protection, as amended, taking into account the requirements of the protected areas of European importance that occur within these two territories. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Integrated Management Programme should address the alignment of all types of territories overlapping on the site concerned. The documentation can also be used as a basis for the preparation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site re-nomination project, which is one of the requirements of the World Heritage Committee for this internationally important area to be maintained and not deprived of the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Council of Europe’s Protected Areas. The project also foresees the pre-negotiation of care programmes with affected owners, land managers and tenants, municipalities in the region and professional public. in order to resolve any conflicts that might arise during the subsequent approval of the documentation after the end of the project. At the same time, it also includes foreign trips aimed at consulting partners/countries whose sites are also included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, as the site currently consists of 78 components (parts) within 12 European countries. There are 4 of them in Slovakia.
