''Instituto para la Conservación de la Naturaleza'' (Nature Conservation Institute), better known by its acronym ICONA (1971–1995) was the administrative entity that was established in Spain in order to preserve and research the natural environment in the Spanish territory. Founded four years before General Franco's death, ICONA played an ambiguous role regarding its ability to take care of the natural protected areas.〔(Monfragüe: a conservation success in Spain )〕 Certain policies implemented by ICONA in the 1970s contributed to the depopulation of remote rural areas in different points of Spain, like for example in Acrijos, Soria and the Solana Valley in Aragon.〔(Diario del AltoAragón (10 d'agost del 2009) - El valle de La Solana )〕 ==History== Among the government departments that were founded in Spain for similar purposes, the following deserve mention: *1833, establishment of the ''Dirección General de Montes'〔 〕 *1855, foundation of the ''Junta Consultiva de Montes'', which later saw its name changed to ''Consejo Forestal'', and then ''Consejo Superior de Montes'', until it disappeared in 1967 after merging with the ''Consejo Superior Agrario'' *1928, the name of the ''Dirección General de Montes'' is changed to ''Dirección General de Montes, Caza y Pesca Fluvial'' during General Primo de Rivera's dictatorship; from then onwards it would depend from the ''Ministerio de Fomento''. *1931, on top of the existing organizations, the ''Instituto Forestal de Investigación'' is founded during the Second Spanish Republic *1971, the ''Dirección General de Montes'' is replaced by ICONA *1991, ICONA is dismantled and merged into the ''Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria'' *1996, foundation of the ''Ministerio del Medio Ambiente'' (Natural Environment Ministry) and the ''Dirección General de Conservación de la Naturaleza'' within it. The latter had two branches, the ''Subdirección de Conservación de la Biodiversidad'' and the 'Subdirección de Política Forestal'' which presently have become the ''Subdirección de Montes''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ICONA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
