COMMISSION for NATURE CONSERVATION

TA LKK logo
 


Eerik Kumari (1975) describes the Commission for Nature Conservation
as a commission that has always had a strong amateur potential, as a scientific commission in its views independent of official nature conservation policy. Relying on existing statute, on scientific competence and authority, the Commission for Nature Conservation has more than once expressed views and made decisions that did not coincide with those generally accepted at the moment. But it should not be reproached for such independence, since everything done served the aim of bettering the state of nature conservation and achieving nature conservation ideals in the country. Numerous examples can be pointed out from the history, when decisions and viewpoints that were not in conformity with those generally accepted performed a very important role in the development of science and culture. He hopes that the Commission for Nature Conservation has made its contribution in this field.
Today the Commission for Nature Conservation tries to follow the principles put forward by E. Kumari.
