The Natura 2000 network adds significantly to the protected area network at the European level. It

  • perates at the biogeographical level.

Over 27,000 protected areas covering 18% of the terrestrial realm of the EU 28, there is significant

  • verlap with national sites in some countries and

very little in others

Target 11

slide-41
SLIDE 41

By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water areas, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and

  • ther effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into

the wider landscapes and seascapes.

Not just how much but where, how, why Not just formally gazetted protected area but Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECM) Need to be well managed Need to be equitably managed Need to be ecologically representative
