Natural Areas Protection Act

The Natural Areas Protection Act is legislation designed to preserve and protect natural, undeveloped lands that have ecological, aesthetic, or recreational value. It establishes procedures for identifying, designating, and safeguarding these areas from activities that could harm their natural state, such as development or resource extraction. The act aims to balance conservation with responsible use, ensuring that natural areas remain available for public enjoyment and ecological health for future generations. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to help protect valuable natural environments within a community or region.
