In the Czech Republic we have quite poor environmental legislation. It also doesn´t help the improvement of current situation. Practically the only place we can find the term of sustainable development is document called ´Sustainable Development Strategy of the Czech Republic´ and the ´Environment Act of 5 December 1991´ (17/1992 Coll.).<ref>http://www.mzp.cz/www/platnalegislativa.nsf/d79c09c54250df0dc1256e8900296e32/5b17dd457274213ec12572f3002827de?OpenDocument</ref> Section 6 of the Act defines sustainable development as development that preserves the capacity of present and future generations to satisfy their basic necessities of life while not reducing the natural diversity and preserving the natural functions of ecosystems.<ref>http://www.mzp.cz/en/sustainable_development_at_the_national_level</ref> This definition does not fully reflect the three pillars of sustainable development, but focuses mainly on environmental protection. | In the Czech Republic we have quite poor environmental legislation.

We have made efforts to examine the current situation of eco-regions in the Czech Republic and we were quite disappointed by the outcome. There is only one that would have “eco” in its name – Ecoregion Úhlava. Its aim is sustainable development of the life of both locals and visitors and maintaining intact nature. But when observing their activities more closely, it seems that they are focused on tourism rather than sustainable development.<ref>http://www.ekoregion-uhlava.cz/node/236 | We have made efforts to examine the current situation of eco-regions in the Czech Republic and we were quite disappointed by the outcome.

If I was to say only one thing that we should adopt from the project of Ecoregion Kaindorf, it would be promotion. Their logo with a swallow taking off can be seen all over the region. | If I was to say only one thing that we should adopt from the project of Ecoregion Kaindorf, it would be promotion.
