The Natura 2000 Network is the main european tool for biodiversity conservation, an extensive ecological network composed by terrestrial and marine areas diffused over the whole EU territory. It was developed from early ‘90 becoming today the most extensive system of protected areas of the world.
The network was formed following the “Habitat” and “Birds” european directive aimed at the conservation of the european most important animal and plant species and the habitats where they lived. It is based on the idea of coexisting and balancing between nature conservation, human activities and sustainable management of the resources (sustainable agriculture, silviculture and fishing).
The network is managed through conservation measures for biodiversity protection e funded by specific financial tools such as LIFE projects and other more related to remune sustainable economic choices in agriculture, tourism and mobility.
The N2000 network in Europe:
