Around 10 % of Slovenia’s territory falls within protected areas (of which, 35.5 % is protected under Natura 2000), and almost 15,000 elements of nature have been given the status of valuable natural feature. The conservation of nature falls under the Slovenian Environment Agency within the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning.

The Ministry co-operates with the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia when cultural heritage issues overlap with natural environment issues, for example in the cases of Franja Partisan Hospital, Triglav National Park, Škocjan Caves World Heritage Site, Kozjansko Park, the Goričko landscape Park, the Logarska dolina Landscape Park, Notranjska Regional Park and Sečovlje Salina Nature Park (cf. Museum of Salt Making, Sečovlje), where cultural heritage architecture (e.g. mills, farms, salt work museum) may be found.
