  1. Welcome to the 2nd Mediterranean Natura 2000 SeminarLimassol, Cyprus14-16 November 2017A milestone event of the Natura 2000 Biogeographical ProcessWorking together in Natura 2000

  2. General objectives of the Process • To deliver strengthened cooperation and sharing of experience on common challenges, including those related to the specific socio-economic context and to cross-border issues • To agree biogeographical-level roadmaps for cooperative action

  3. Refocussing the Natura 2000Biogeographical Process • to better contribute to the establishment of coherent, effective and efficient conservation systems throughout the EU. • to deliver improved coherence in conservation status evaluation and setting conservation objectives and priorities • to optimize conservation results at biogeographical level

  4. A contribution to implementing the Action Plan for nature, people and the economy Adopted on 27/04/2017 as a follow-up to the Fitness Check of the EU Nature Directives translation available in all EU languages http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/legislation/fitness_check/action_plan/index_en.htm

  5. The objectives of the Nature Action Plan • to realise the full potential of the Directives to achieve healthy ecosystems, whose services benefit of people, nature and the economy • to boost their contribution towards reaching the EU's biodiversity targets for 2020 • to improve the Directives' coherence with broader socio-economic objectives

  6. to promote the identification of best practices in • conservation management, • seizing funding opportunities, • dealing with communication and stakeholder involvement • improving governance of Natura 2000.

  7. 4 priority areas of action: • Improving guidance and knowledge and ensuring better coherence with broader socio-economic objectives • Building political ownership and strengthening compliance • Strengthening investment in Natura 2000 and improving synergies with EU funding instruments • Better communication and outreach, engaging citizens, stakeholders and communities • 15 Actions (see http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/legislation/fitness_check/action_plan/index_en.htm) • Timeframe 2017-2019

  8. Action n°6 • Some actions taken so far or ongoing: • Definition of responsibilities • - 2nd Natura 2000 Seminar for the Alpine region (Padova, June 2017) • - 2nd Nature 2000 Seminar for the Mediterranean region (Limassol, Nov. 2017) • - Several workshops/networking events in 2017 (e.g. on the management of secondary forest habitat types, fishery measures for marine N2000 sites in the Mediterranean, the integrated implementation of the Nature and Water legislation,…)

  9. The 2nd Mediterranean Natura 2000 Seminar • The Seminar is a milestone in a continuing process of networking, information sharing and knowledge building. • It should identify and, where possible, agree a biogeographical-level roadmap for cooperative action • Discussions in the four groups should use the Seminar Input Document as a basis and starting point for the discussions.

  10. Four Thematic Working Groups • 1. Assessment and sustainable development of ecosystems (incl. restoration priorities, interpretation of habitats, favourable reference values…) • 2. Conservation objectives, monitoring and evaluation (incl. integrated planning, ways to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of conservation measures, …) • 3. Effective governance models (incl. participatory approaches …) • 4. Addressing threats and pressures on Mediterranean habitats and species

  11. Main steps to achieve specific outcomes
