The Directorate provides management for all three protected areas, based on an individual law for each one and corresponding management and business plans. Significant investment has been made in developing the infrastructure ofthese protected areas, including development of awareness and education programmes. Entrance fees were introduced in Biambare, which help to finance management activities. In Vrelo Bosne, new jobs have been created, as have additional sources of income for the local communities associated with this protected area (i.e. a special station for fiacre rides and an area for trade in souvenirs).
