I suggest to focus on the first point, during this introductory week of our discussion. To develop management plans for selected threatened species and some huntable species. In both, the concept of spatial distribution is an important part of the objective, at least for the conservation priority elements. The measures proposed include the identification of a coherent network of sites which is sufficient to meet the protection needs of the target species and habitats, given the needs to achieve the conservation goal. Additional measures are also supported, including the creation and restoration of further habitat outside protected areas, the promotion of habitat management, and a system to protect the habitats, sites and individual species from adverse impacts.
Directive refers to the landscapes which are of major importance to wild species.
Features that are essential for dispersal, migration and genetic exchange are highlighted. The idea of ecological coherence of the suite of sites making up Natura 2000 is given particular emphasis.
