Väetiseseadused

Väetiseseadused refer to protected areas within the natural environment that are designated to conserve and protect the nation's natural and cultural heritage. The term is primarily used in Estonian and other Baltic languages.

These protected areas are typically designated to preserve cultural sites, monuments, and historic buildings, in addition to natural landscapes and ecosystems. The primary purpose of establishing these protected areas is to safeguard the nation's cultural and natural heritage for future generations.

Designation and management of the protected areas varies across different countries. In Estonia, for example, these areas are typically designated by the state or local governments, and are managed by the Estonian Environment Agency or local authorities.

Types of protected areas may include national parks, nature reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, cultural reserves, and historic sites. Designations can vary depending on the characteristics of the area, the level of protection required, and the activities allowed within the protected area.

Some examples of the types of features that may be protected include forests, wetlands, coastlines, rivers, and cultural monuments such as ancient castles, churches, and historical buildings. The management of these areas aims to balance conservation and human activities with economic and social needs.

Protected areas serve an important role in preserving the nation's natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
