| Natura 2000 - About (1132 words) |
 | NATURA 2000 is a network of protected areas in the European Union covering fragile and valuable natural habitats and species of particular importance for the conservation of biological diversity within the territory of EU. |
 | The main objective of the NATURA 2000 network is to ensure the survival of species that are threatened or rare throughout Europe. |
 | NATURA 2000 protection for the selected territory means that each Member State is obliged to ensure a favourable conservation status for relevant habitats and species listed in the annexes of the Birds and Habitats Directives. |
