The Swiss Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage establishes guidelines for the conservation and preservation of Switzerland's natural landscapes, historical sites, and cultural monuments. It outlines the responsibilities of federal and cantonal authorities in protecting these assets, including measures for financial support, legal protections, and the promotion of public awareness. The Act also addresses the protection of native flora and fauna, the management of biotopes, and the sustainable use of genetic resources (The original piece available only in German).
