	WWF - Natura 2000
		Natura 2000, is based on a European network of protected areas and is potentially the most significant initiative to protect Europe's biodiversity.
		One also has to be aware however that Natura 2000 is not a new "wildlife reserve", with strict protection and high levels of control over economic activities..
		Natura 2000 is the focus of WWF's international programme for EU Enlargement.

	Natura 2000 - About
		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.

	This is Natura 2000 - Swedish EPA
		Natura 2000 was created by the EU to prevent animals and plants from becoming extinct and to prevent the destruction of their habitats.
		One aim of Natura 2000 was to have established a network by 2000 and that concern for biodiversity should characterise the 2000s.
		Natura 2000 requires all EU member states to take steps to ensure that natural habitats and species in the network receive "favourable conservation status".

	Natura 2000 - requirements arising from the Habitats Directive and how they are currently being met in the Czech ...
		Although dates were set by which both directives had to be met, the NATURA 2000 complex has still not been established in the EU, so that the CR has no model, experience or advice to follow in preparing for it on its own territory.
		NATURA 2000 is a plan whereby EU states establish a system of areas to be given special protection.
		When sites are to be included in the NATURA 2000 system, especially those of low priority, it is necessary to take into account not only their number and size but also what species are found there and, of course, what condition they are in.

	About SNH - Natura 2000 - What are they?
		Natura 2000 is a European network of protected sites which represent areas of the highest value for natural habitats and species of plants and animals which are rare, endangered or vulnerable in the European Community.
		The term Natura 2000 comes from the 1992 EC Habitats Directive; it symbolises the conservation of precious natural resources for the year 2000 and beyond into the 21st century.
		Establishing the Natura 2000 network is the primary purpose of the Directives, but they also make other provisions, including measures for the protection of habitats and species outwith the site network.

		Natura 2000 has an effect for authorities as well as for private landowners, developers and industry.
		Natura 2000 protected areas, which include protected areas for both habitats and birds, are to be administered so that the natural environment is not impaired.
		Among other things, this means that authorities must ensure that any activity that may affect a Natura 2000 area, and which requires permission, approval or dispensation, must be evaluated with respect to whether or not it will harm the protected natural environment in question.

	The Natura 2000 network in Belgium
		The main objective of Natura 2000 is to contribute to the preservation of biological diversity on the territory of the European Union, while taking into account socio-economic parameters.
		In this way, Natura 2000 does not prohibit, a priori, human use of land or resources within the sites proposed, nor does the Habitats Directive require them to have a particular legal protection status.
		The EU Natura 2000 Barometer shows you the state of advancement of designations for each Member State (number of designated sites, total area, etc.).

	Natura 2000 Network
		To achieve the goal for the identification and evaluation of biodiversity, the Directive was implemented in Greece in 1994 by a national project titled "Inventory, Identification, Evaluation and Mapping of the Habitat types and Flora and Fauna species in Greece".
		The creation of the NATURA 2000 network, to which Greece is committed, will assist in the protection of endangered species and their habitats by ensuring their restoration and maintenance at a favourable conservation status.
		The restoration, conservation and protection at a favourable level of all priority habitats and species in the sites must be insured in all future actions until the NATURA 2000 network is established.

		The Natura 2000 sites selection process is based on the 7 bio-geographic regions the EU is currently divided into.
		The main responsibility for the implementation of the Natura 2000 network lies with the member states, which have to put into service site management plans to avoid the deterioration of habitats and the disturbance of species.
		However, the designation of a Natura 2000 site should not lead to a total ban on development provided it is ecologically sustainable.

		The EUROPARC Federation’s Natura 2000 Working Group was set up at the end of June 2003 in Roses, Catalonia, with the initial aims of preparing the content of the EUROPARC 2004 annual conference and setting up a programme of work on Natura 2000.
		This paper gives an overview on Natura 2000, including how it has been established, the current state of play, difficulties in implementation of the network, potential EUROPARC contribution to the management of Natura 2000, and the next steps intended by the European Commission.
		Before the EUROPARC Natura 2000 working group was founded, the EUROPARC Federation conducted a training seminar on the topic ‘Natura 2000 and protected areas’ in the Hortobágy National Park (Hungary) in 2001 as part of the EUROPARC Expertise Exchange Project.

	Integration of the Water Framework Directive and Natura 2000
		The main focus of this workshop was the integration of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), and the Habitats and Birds Directives (the constituent directives of Natura 2000), with the challenge of improving wetlands and freshwater habitats.
		The WFD was implemented in December 2000 - charging Member States with its inclusion in national law by the end of 2003 - with the target of achieving the "good status" of all European waters by 2015.
		For that WFD and Natura 2000 have similar objectives, tasks, interfaces, methods and management concepts that need to be im¬ple¬mented closely related without contradictions if they want to be successful.
