At the national level, there is currently no dedicated mechanism for funding anything beyond the bare minimum costs of running the Department of Nature Protection and the State inspectors who deal with nature protection. It has a head office (Director, Technical Secretary) and six branch units in county seats, and includes within its structure two inspection roles - environmental protection (18 inspectors) and nature protection (10 inspectors). In respect of Protected Areas, the Council issues opinions on: (1) the identification, proclamation, management, measures, and activities for protection of environmentally important areas, ecological network, and the system of ecological corridors, and (2) the acceptability of proposals for the proclamation of Protected Areas.
