Natura 2000 Seminar

Luxembourg 29/06/2015 – 01/07/2015

What we want to achieve

• significant progress towards the EU 2020 Biodiversity

Strategy targets, through improved and strengthened

implementation of Natura 2000

• common understanding of the role of the network in

achieving favourable conservation status while

contributing to socio-economic objectives,

• performance & coherence in conservation management

How we proceed

• establish a framework for networking, sharing information and experience between Member States, stakeholder organisations, environmental NGOs and specialist networks

• develop new management insights and put in place priority management actions

• develop cooperation initiatives including cross-border projects, thematic workshops, communication, involving experts from different Member States

• facilitate cooperation and networking through a web-based communication platform

• ensure a flexible approach, for example by moving beyond habitats to include flagship species where useful as indicators and in raising public awareness

• No 'seminar cycles' but a continuous process for cooperation and networking
