regional and local level. AC was signed in 1991 by the Alpine countries and includes
ten protocols and four additional are in preparation. Slovenia ratified all of the
protocols in 2004. Because of the structure of mountainous areas in Slovenia, the
sustainability is adapted in most of the state policy, legislatively and in practice,
and there is almost no specific policy for mountainous areas. Therefore, Slovenia
generally does not have many problems of adapting its legislation with the Alpine
Convention. Problems sometimes appear with the implementation.
16.2.8 NGO Participation in the Mountain Areas
There is only one environmental NGO in Slovenia, which is focused on the moun-
tain areas. CIPRA Slovenia is a member of CIPRA International (International
Commission for the protection of the Alps). With its focus on sustainable devel-
opment, CIPRA's objective is to exploit the potential of the Alpine space at many
levels and to preserve its cultural and natural diversity. CIPRA Slovenia works
mainly in the field of traffic policy, nature protection and promotion of sustainable
development in mountain areas.

S - Natural beauty, tourism industry,
W - Decline of grazing, transport infrastructure,
O - High quality experience tourism, good business location,
T - Long range air pollution, visitors in the summer.
