Legal basis: § 25 Abs.1 lit.c NSchG (Nature Conservation Law)
The Salzburg Nature Conservation Law serves the protection and care of the native natural environment and the cultural landscape shaped by human hand. Intrusions into nature are subject to obligatory permits by the nature conservation authority, under the terms of § 25 Salzburg Nature Conservation Law (Salzburger Naturschutzgesetz). Insofar the provisions of the Nature Conservation Law are applicable in the realisation of a project, it must be considered in the planning and execution of projects, that any adverse effects on the natural environment must be avoided and if this is not possible, that unavoidable adverse effects on the natural environment must in any case be reduced to a minimum and counterbalanced by other measures.
