Protected areas: interim Prohibition
Description
An area’s natural values can be protected pending a decision on nature reserves.
The county administrative board or the municipality may issue a temporary ban (according to the Environmental Code) to take measures without authorisation that could harm the values they want to protect – an interim ban. Examples of measures that may be contrary to the purpose of the proposed nature reserve are logging, housing needs, building construction or ditching.
An often useful alternative to interim bans is that the state or a municipality enters into a nature conservation agreement with the property owner, meaning that the owner refrains from logging, for example, forests during the lease period.
