  • Enhances co-ordinated and collaborative approaches among Member

States sharing a common biogeographical context,

  • Is strongly depending on active involvement of Member States and

stakeholders / NGOs,

  • Sees Natura 2000 as a network of protected areas and as a network of

people

The Natura 2000 BGP is:

  • a contribution to the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020:

– Target 1: Protect species and habitats – Action 1: Complete the Natura 2000 network and ensure its good management.

  • an integral part of the Nature Action Plan:

– Priority B: Building political ownership and strengthening compliance – Action 6: Bring together public authorities and stakeholders from different Member States at the biogeographical region level to address common challenges, including on cross-border issues.

Title

Basic questions to be discussed for N2000 throughout the EU:

  • What are the common issues in management of habitats over the

biogeographical region?

  • What are the potential solutions to these problems (incl. best practice)?

What special management measures are required to accommodate habitats and key associated species?

  • Are there concrete possibilities for cooperation or cooperative action

linked to the preferred solutions that could be launched at the seminar? In the end, to agree on biogeographical-level roadmaps for cooperative action

What does the Biogeographical Process want to achieve?
