Description: The “Mavrovo” National Park (NP) is a protected area since 1949 when the Assembly of the National Republic of Macedonia declared the forests around the Mavrovo field a national park. With the alterations to the Law for Establishment of the National Park from 3 July 1952 the territory of the protected area has increased 6 times, from 11 750 hectares to 73 088 hectares. According to the Law for Nature Protection (2004) there is a legal obligation for re-proclamation of the “Mavrovo” National Park as protected area. The process consists of the following phases: conduction of a valorisation or revalorisation study of the protected area, preparation of management plan for the protected area, public discussion and (re)proclamation of the protected area by the law.
