17.07.2013 | Anna Niemiec

Network of Nature 2000 within the area of Regional Directorate of State Forests (Polish abbreviation RDLP) in Zielona Góra. Nature 2000 is European-wide ecological network. Its aim is to ensure permanent existence of chosen endangered types of ecosystems and dying species of plants and animals, both important from the point of view of European Community.

The basis of administering territories of Nature 2000 constitutes habitats and animals, which are about to die out within the area of European Union. They are specified in two directives:

Birds Directive (2009/147/WE, before 79/409/EWG) – on its basis , there are created areas of special protection of birds (Polish abbreviation OSO) in order to protect species enlisted in appendix I of the directive;
Habitats Directive (92/43/EWG) –on its basis , there are created areas of special protection of habitats (Polish abbreviation SOO) in order to protect natural habitats and living space of different species of plants and animals based on criteria given in appendixes I and II of the directive.

Nowadays in Poland we have:

145 areas of special birds protection (OSO) – they cover about 15,6% of the area.
845 areas being of great importance for European Community, that in the future (after approving by Ministry of Environment) will be special territories of habitats protection (SOO) – they cover about 11,05% of the country area.

All the areas of Nature 2000 cover 19,7% of the country area altogether.
