Order no. 552 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forests, Waters and Environment regarding the approval of the internal zoning of national parks and natural parks, from the point of view of the need to preserve biological diversity.

The internal zoning of national parks and natural parks is approved from the point of view of the need to preserve natural ecosystems and biological diversity, by delimiting special conservation areas, which include the most valuable elements of the natural heritage within national parks and natural parks and are fully assimilable or may include scientific reserves, natural reserves, including landscape reserves, natural monuments, special conservation areas, special avifaunal protection areas, protected areas for historical monuments of exceptional national value, as the case may be. Until the approval of the management plan for each national park or natural park, which will regulate in detail the protection regime and detailed zoning, in special conservation areas any forms of exploitation or use of natural resources, as well as any forms of land use incompatible with the purpose of protection and/or conservation, are prohibited. In special conservation areas in national parks and natural parks, outside the perimeters of scientific reserves with a strict protection regime, the following activities may be carried out: (a) of a scientific and educational nature; (b) controlled tourism; (c) rational use of meadows for mowing and/or grazing only with domestic animals owned by members of communities that own pastures inside the park; (e) interventions to maintain habitats in order to protect certain species, groups of species or biotic communities that constitute the object of protection; (f) interventions for the purpose of protecting and maintaining natural ecosystems; (g) actions to eliminate the effects of disasters; and (h) actions to prevent the mass multiplication of forest pests and to monitor them.
