The Natura 2000 Network: Key Figures Supporting Biodiversity in Europe

The Natura 2000 network is a vital element in Europe's conservation efforts, covering approximately 20% of the continent’s land area (850,000 km²) and over 10% of its marine area (100,000 km²). This network comprises about 26,000 designated sites under the Habitats and Birds Directives, protecting crucial habitats and species. As of October 2007, updates included 4,830 Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and 16,838 Sites of Community Importance (SCIs). Collectively, these measures are essential for preserving Europe's unique biodiversity.
