Management and supervision
Rago National Park is managed by the Midtre Nordland National Park Board. The Midtre Nordland National Park Board consists of local and regional politicians, as well as representatives from the Sami Parliament. The board is appointed by the Norwegian Environment Agency. In addition to Rago National Park, the Midtre Nordland National Park Board also manages Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park, Sjunkhatten National Park, Junkerdal National Park, and Láhko National Park, as well as two protected landscape areas and seven nature reserves.
Duties of the National Park Board
The National Park Board implements annual measures such as care, information and facilitation. The National Park Board has a secretariat which consists of four national park managers who have offices at the Nordland National Park Center at Storjord in Saltdal Municipality.
The framework for how the areas are to be managed can be found in the conservation regulations. In addition, there’s a management plan which provides guidelines for how the protection regulations are to be interpreted, and which elaborates what is meant by the provisions in the protection regulations.
It is the conservation purpose and the conservation regulations that govern what activities and measures are permitted in the area. Rago National Park has a visitor strategy that is supposed to ensure good experiences for visitors and promote local value creation, while at the same time safeguarding nature.
