PROTECTION AREAS
NATURA 2000 – HISTORY AND GOALS
Natura 2000 is the main tool of protection of biological
diversity in Europenian Union territory. Its creation
dates back to 1992 however Poland joined the network
of created in May 2004, along with joining EU.
Natura 2000 is a network of areas created for
protection, preservation and restoration of ecosystems,
species and their natural habitats.
The protection sites are selected by strictly following
specific scientific criteria, according to two directives :
Habitat Criterion and Bird Criterion.
NATURA 2000 AREAS
Currently, Natura 2000 covers about 18% of land
mass in EU countries (about 787,000 km2 as of
2013) and the process of designating new areas is
considered to be almost complete. In 2013,
additional 251,564 km2 have been added to the
registry in water environment. The network in
marine areas is not yet complete and it is a key
challenge for biodiversity policy in the coming years.
NATURA 2000 IN POLAND
Preparations for introducing Natura 2000 network began in the late
nineties of the 20th century. The effort started with the creation of
preliminary analysis of natural habitats and species which were not
previously present in any European territories, but required protection.
In 2001, a document containing the preliminary identification and
description of new areas, called ”The concept” of the Natura 2000
network in Poland” was created.

Summation
After the changes in 2012, the Natura 2000 in
Poland occupies almost 20% of the land area of
the country. It consists of 849 areas of
Community importance (areas of "habitat" - the
future Special Areas of Conservation) and 145
special protection areas for birds
