Abstract
The historical development of nature conservation ideas can be divided into a number of phases (Sepp et al 1999). First, the roots of nature conservation stem from the folk religion. Records from the 13th century speak of sacred trees and groves that were worshipped and preserved. To date, approximately 550 sacred groves and more than 2000 other ancient sacred sites are known. The era of narrow restrictions on the use of natural resources followed. The first bans on felling were most likely imposed on the areas around burial grounds and dwellings. Primarily, these regulations dealt with preservation of coastal forests, but in certain cases also with the use of land and water.
