Conservation in Iceland is regulated under a programme known in Icelandic as Náttúruverndarlög (conservation of nature) initiated in 1971. It offers a basis for ensuring the long-term protection of places or areas.[2] The Umhverfisstofnun (environmental authority) decides which areas are to be addressed.
There are six main types of conservation in Iceland:[2]
- Fólkvangar (country parks)
- Friðlönd (nature reserves)
- Náttúruvætti (natural monuments)
- Tegundir og búsvæði (species and habitats)
- Þjóðgarðar (natural parks)
- Önnur svæði (other)
