Summary/Abstract: Natural values and cultural Polish national parks should be covered by a special responsibility in the form of appropriate forms of management. The aim of the article is to characterize the formal and informal framework for the operation of national parks in Poland, and to formulate recommendations for changes in this area. The transformation parks of the state budget entities into the legal state entities gave them greater organizational independence. On the one hand this increases the motivation and responsibility of directors, from the other side – threatens to drift from position of nature conservation bodies into the direction of corporate entities. From protective functions to the functions of gaining revenue. The temptation engenders especially in the absence of clearly defined rules and limited budgetary financing.
