The Czech Minister of the Environment, Igor Červený, has appointed Petr Moravec as the new director of Krkonoše National Park (KRNAP). Moravec, currently an instructor at the Czech Forestry Academy, previously held a part-time position within the park administration, representing only 10% of a full-time role. The appointment has drawn scrutiny, though details of the criticism are not specified in this report. The announcement was made at the park’s administrative headquarters in Vrchlabí. This marks a significant leadership change for the national park. Further details regarding Moravec’s qualifications and the reasoning behind the appointment are expected to be released. The move signals a potential shift in management direction for KRNAP.
